British “Word Wizards” Gift American Families a Free Robust Learning Tool
Berkshire, UK (June 16, 2026) – The great American experiment has reached its 250th year, and 250 years of history requires an extensive vocabulary to properly understand, digest and discuss such a long story. For American kids, learning their history can feel like a daunting task, but Mrs Wordsmith, the creators of word games and study guides designed to make English and vocab work fun, have launched a new study guide especially for America’s semiquincentennial (first lesson: that means 250th anniversary!)
Packed full of study guides, strategies, and vocabulary words that help contextualize American history, culture and commerce, The Great American Story: 250 Years of America in 250 Words is a timely and convenient tool for educators and parents alike to improve their kids’ language ability for modern living in the United States. And now, for a limited time, this $50 educational tool for at-home use is offered as a free gift to American families by its British maker so children have a way to access and relate to the celebration of the signing of the U.S. Constitution. This fun and short explainer video gives an overview of the guide, how to download it, and the gift offer that expires July 15. At the end of the video is a QR code to the document’s landing page for a free order.
“America’s 250th is a once-in-a-generation moment, and without the right vocabulary, kids risk being bystanders,” said Pierre Lagrange, CEO of Mrs Wordsmith. “We created The Great American Story, a curation of 250 words celebrating 250 years in all areas of Americana history so my 6-year-old American daughter, Margaux, and her friends have the vocabulary to have a voice in the national conversation.”
Mrs Wordsmith was founded in 2015 by a mother driven by a simple but powerful vision: to create educational content that actually worked — and that her kids genuinely wanted to use. The company has since grown into a trusted source for games, guides and lesson plans the world over. As we know, forcing a child to learn dry subject matter is as effective as forcing a round peg in a square hole; it can be better to meet kids where they’re at, making the process fun and naturally engaging for them. Mrs Wordsmith study guide packs don’t just feature vocabulary words and helpful definitions, but entertaining and expressive illustrations to provide a fun secondary aid while learning new words. Mrs Wordsmith’s unique brand is accentuated by the visual stylings of Craig Kellman, character designer for the Madagascar animated movie series.
The Great American Story is a comprehensive, 538-page interactive PDF featuring 250 thoughtfully selected words grouped into helpful categories ranging from Learning, Togetherness & Belonging, Science & Discovery, American Art and many more. These categories help contextualize each word on their own and in relation to the other terms in the category to help kids better retain the ideas. Mrs Wordsmith uses science and evidence-based teaching tools to craft their study guides, including word maps with synonyms and word pairs to better build deep understanding, delineated daily and weekly lesson plan options to better tackle specific words or word groups, and ready-to-print activities for either individual students or entire groups of young learners.
The PDF features a helpful, interactive table of words separated by category to help easily navigate back to tricky words in case kids need a refresher on synonyms or definitions, and every word page asks students to use the word in a sentence of their own making. Just click on the word and instantly jump to its page! Everything from American musical genres to terms of government, activist movements, art, technology, economics and everything in-between, The Great American Story arrives just in time for kids to acquire a well-rounded understanding of their country in a complicated yet significant point in history.
