Teaching the Constitution in September

It’s Actually the Law...

"Constitution Translated for Kids" (Ovation Books), helps everyone understand the only common American birthright, the foundation for the government of “We the People,” the Constitution of the United States.

"Constitution Translated for Kids," originally published in 2006, is hailed by teachers as an extraordinary resource for teaching the Constitution (now required by law in mid-September), and is now available in paperback to make the book easier for schools to purchase in bulk. The book is also available in Spanish. 

Teachers have raved that the book and FREE teachers guide transform classroom discussions. “Constitution Translated for Kids” pairs the original document with an easy-to-read version that clearly restates the ideas that form the foundation of American democracy. 

This book provides the first ever side-by-side look at this complex document explained in easily understood terms. Travis also includes a timeline, modern applications of the document and an explanation of the actual – and proposed – amendments providing a fuller understanding of this invaluable piece of our history, our present, and our future.
