I have taught APUSH using earlier versions of the Shi textbook, when it was "Tindall and Shi" and liked it for readability. If you'd like a free on-line text, both the Stanford "American Yawp" and Openstax "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" are good. While not an approved college textbook, lots of teachers use this: https://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Placement-United-States-History/dp/1531129129/ref=sr_1_1?crid=307MDGLFWOJJU&keywords=amsco+apush&qid=1680699018&sprefix=amsco+apush%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-1 which is a hybrid between text and prep book |

Thank you! I have a rising 9th grader in the Blair magnet who insists on taking APUSH even though we are telling her how hard 9th grade is and that taking the normal/Honors level will help her have balance. She enjoys history and writing; her worry about the magnet was that she would not grow those areas as much as STEM fields. So starting some reading this summer just to learn how to read real history textbooks would be great. |

| My DD is also interested in starting early this summer, she is a rising 9th grader in Poolesville. If some one can let me know which book is being referred by Poolesville, it will be very helpful. |

| Whatever text book your class teacher uses, you can always supplement with the Princeton Review AP books. They cover the same material and have practice tests. |

Once your kid figures out the system it’s easy. I would recommend the you tube videos. |

| AP classroom has videos. Although I don’t think you can access them until enrolled in the class and it has started. |

Which YouTube videos? The Heimler ones? |
