Children across America are failing at U.S. History. In fact, a recent Oklahoma study showed that fewer than 3% scored a passing grade on a U.S. citizenship test. The study also showed that fewer than 25% of students could name George Washington as our first president. The statistics point to a broken education system that is unable to inspire children to learn our history.

This disturbing data prompted Brad Saft, a Harvard Business School graduate and father of two, to address the problem head-on. Saft co-founded an education company called Learn Our History, which produces animated video lessons about U.S. history that have been proven to help kids learn.

In a recent interview, Saft stated, “Children perceive American history as “boring” because of the way it’s taught in school. However, history is fascinating when it’s presented to kids in an engaging format. Our video lessons give kids a front-row seat to history in the making.”

Saft and his company are on to something. A survey of Learn Our History customers revealed that 97% of children retain what they learn after watching the video lessons. What’s more, 9 out of 10 families surveyed indicated their children love the product.

As 2016 is a Presidential election year, Saft is making Learn Our History accessible to all families by giving away Learn Our History’s “Election Day: Choosing Our President” video lesson for free. Saft stated, “Children represent the future of our country, and it’s critical that we take advantage of this opportunity to teach them everything there is to know about how we elect our president and how the election process came to be. That’s why we’re giving away our Election Day lesson for free to anyone who wants to try Learn Our History.”

Learn Our History’s “Election Day” video lesson includes a free DVD, free online streaming and a free digital workbook. To order the “Election Day: Choosing Our President” video lesson, click here. There is no obligation to buy anything at all.* Full offer details are listed below.

A recent study of Oklahoma students revealed that only 2.8% of students scored well enough to be eligible for U.S. citizenship. In contrast, 92% of applicants pass the test when applying for citizenship.
