Freedom, economics, entrepreneurship, and personal responsibility — the principles that actually matter. Discover the books and resources that make these ideas come alive for children of every age.
Most children graduate without understanding how economies work, what freedom actually means, or how to create value in the world. We think that's a problem — and we know how to fix it.
Teach supply and demand, entrepreneurship, trade, and why free markets lift people out of poverty — in language kids can understand.
The principles behind the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and why individual rights matter — brought to life through stories.
From lemonade stands to startup thinking — teach kids to solve problems, create value, and build a life of purpose and independence.
Help your children question narratives, evaluate evidence, and think for themselves — skills that serve them for life.
"The most important education you can give a child isn't found in a textbook. It's the understanding of how the world actually works — and how they can thrive in it."
The gold standard for teaching children about freedom, economics, and entrepreneurship. These aren't dry textbooks — they're adventures kids beg to read again and again.

Don't just take our word for it — here's what parents and educators across the country are saying about these resources.
"My 8-year-old now explains inflation to my mother-in-law at the dinner table. The Tuttle Twins books made economics click in a way that four years of school never managed. We're now collecting the whole series."
"I use the Tuttle Twins in my private school classroom. The discussions these books spark are incredible — kids actually debate the ideas and apply them to current events. Nothing else comes close."
"My kids were asking about money and business, and I honestly didn't know how to explain it at their level. The Teach Real Principles site pointed us to exactly what we needed. We've gone through six books now!"
Teach Real Principles was founded because we were tired of watching schools teach kids what to think instead of how to think. We believe the principles of freedom, sound economics, and personal responsibility are too important to be left out of our children's education.
