Get library books on the same topics. Ask the librarian for help. When you celebrate holidays such as the Fourth of July, Christmas, Passover, or Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday, explain to your child what is being celebrated and why. Help your child find stories or speeches about these holidays at the library or in a newspaper or magazine. Get to know the history of the town or city where you live.
Children love to look at pictures.
Choose a photo of a person in your family or someone else you admire or respect. Tell your child what the person did. Talk about the results of the person's actions. With your child, search for photos from newspapers or magazines about other people you admire. Your child might want to collect these or put them in a scrapbook.
