Teachers: Free downloads of the sections you want!
   Fasttrack to America's Past




   Teachers can now download, at no charge, the individual sections of this title that you wish to use with your students.  Each section download is in PDF format, and contains all the pages in that section.  It also includes a cover page that includes a statement giving you permission to photocopy the pages for use by your students.

   If you will be using the complete set of pages in a section as a packet, be sure to include the cover page.  That will ensure that by photocopying double sided, you will keep the double page spread layout design.  Also, three hole punch the pages so the packet can be kept neatly in students' binders / notebooks. 

   The complete Teacher Key pages are posted on this web site.  Go to the home page, click on the links for a section, then look for the key symbol when the index page for that section opens.  There are also links to lots of interesting and engaging resources, such as historical photo sets and short videos.

   You can also order and download the complete workbook, including the front of the book pages, table of contents, etc., through our publisher's page on the TPT educational publishing company website.  Please click here for more information about that, and see the link for "Ordering / Downloading."
