EXPLORE AMERICAN HISTORY has four components: Student Book, Student Workbook, Tools of History Mats, and Teacher's Manual.

The Student Book has nine chronological chapters Early Years, Revolutionary War, Westward Ho!, A Nation Divided, One Nation Grows, World Trouble, World Trouble Again, Superpower, and A New Century. Chapters follow a consistent format: Anticipatory Set, Vocabulary, History Stories, and two Quizzes. Twenty-five one-page biographies with corresponding comprehension exercises are also aligned to the curriculum chronology. Amplified text is heavily illustrated and is intended to be read to the student, so there's no minimum reading level required. The curriculum emphasizes the use of important social study tools, like timelines, graphs and maps.

A consumable Student Workbook is included so students can have their own book for the anticipatory set, activities, vocabulary and quizzes.

The Teacher's Manual has a lesson outline for each page of the Student Book with Big Ideas, Additional Facts, and Extension Activities. It also includes a PDF of the Student Book on disc with a Classroom License for printouts. The program also includes four, two-sided Tools of History Mats, each 14" x 20".
