A 50-State Educational Travel Adventure for Homeschoolers

As a homeschooling family, you know that travel is a natural educational vehicle; however you may not have the time or means to travel extensively. Instead, you seek comprehensive resources to add motivation, stimulation and enrichment to your curriculum.

HUSON TRAVEL LETTERS© has proven to be such a resource – designed to stimulate your students’ interest in and curiosity about the history, geography, ecology and economics of the United State of America.

For two years, the daughter and mother writers team of Juanita Huson Sylvest and Malva Huson Brown traveled all 50 states via motorhome while writing bi-weekly letters to homeschooling families. It was as if the students had an on-the-road aunt and grandmother whose letters shared where they had been and what they had done.

Today, this once-in-a-lifetime intergenerational adventure of discovery serves many purposes:

1) Making social studies easy and fun for all ages

2) Creating an armchair traveler’s own vicarious journey

3) Introducing foreigners to the U.S.A.

4) Taking senior citizens on a nostalgic tour of places dreamed of or visited

5) Guiding families in planning their own vacations.

Your family can benefit from two year’s worth of travel adventure and discovery throughout the 50 states without leaving home! HUSON TRAVEL LETTERS bring the country into your home via friendly, chatty letters packed with meaningful content designed to stimulate your own educational journey of inquiry and discovery.
