What children learn in Level 26
- Independence Day is July 4. Many people call it the Fourth of July.
- Long ago, America was 13 colonies ruled by the king of Great Britain, far across the ocean.
- On July 4, 1776, American leaders approved the Declaration of Independence. It said America was free to make its own rules. Independence means being free to make your own choices.
- So July 4 is America's birthday! People celebrate with fireworks, parades, picnics, and flags.
- Try it with a grown-up! Count the flags you see on the Fourth of July.
