*Parents: VideoLink (formely Safe YouTube) is no longer a free service for sharing videos the way we do on our Links Pages. So far previously made links are still working through their site, but going forward, any newly created links will only take you directly to the video on YouTube. If you would like to use VideoLink it is still free for previewing videos, just not creating permanent shareable links. The link to their site is provided below and you just need to copy the url of the video and then paste it in on their site. It will be a temporary link so do this when you're ready to watch the video. We apologize for any inconvenience!
Also please note - We have made every effort to find fun, engaging, and thought-provoking videos, while striving for wholesomeness as best we could. We know there are vast differences in what is permitted for each individual family. We ask that you preview videos before giving them to your children to watch and make sure they meet whatever standards you have set for your screen time. We feel sure that most of our families are doing this already, but we wanted to make a point of posting this as a reminder.
**Liberty’s Kids Schedule: There are 40 episodes in the series. If you want to watch the whole series, we recommend 6 episodes a week (starting on Week 10) and 4 episodes the last week (Week 15). Otherwise, we have provided above, as close as possible, a chapter match-up listing episodes that go along with the chapters being read in America’s Story 1. There are only 19 episodes included in the chapter match-up schedule.
