As an educator with many years of experience in directing English as a  Second Language (ESL) and cross-cultural programs, Kathleen Gripman spotted a troubling gap in the educational preparation of many students. Learning the essentials of American history is a critical educational milestone, but most overviews of America&rsquo,s story are  designed for reading levels beyond the ability of most English Language Learners.Gripman decided to fill that gap with the richly illustrated and fun-to-read book American History Made Easy. The book begins with the meeting of European and native cultures in what is now  the U.S. after the voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1492. The story continues through the American Revolution, the expansion of the nation  in the 1800s, the Civil War and key events in America&rsquo,s most recent century of challenges and triumphs. To make students&rsquo, studying easier, the book also includes lots of supplemental materials, among them: study questions, the text of the U.S. Constitution, a list of American authors and recommended reading, a glossary and an index.Gripman had the perfect qualifications to meet this challenge as a successful business owner supervising ESL educators in southeast Michigan&mdash,and as a developer of some of the literacy-training materials used in her programs. Gripman also had  lived overseas, including five years of service in Europe with the U.S. Navy.She designed her overview of American history for the millions of English Language Learners (ELL), including English as a Second Language students, who are studying each year across the United  States. The book can be used either in a classroom or for self-study.  Between these covers, Gripman narrates the essential chapters of American history, written at an intermediate reading level and accompanied by original black-and-white sketches and charts to deepen reader recall. In selecting the chapters to include, she drew on the questions frequently asked on exams and certification tests that immigrants commonly encounter, making the book a practical way to prepare for testing.Most importantly, Gripman decided not to distill America&rsquo,s story into a series of dry facts to be memorized. Writing in an engaging narrative style, her book also is ideal for any  reader who wants an overview of the essentials of American history
