Students spend 60 minutes listening and discussing amazing topics like Ancient Civilizations, World Religions, Life Cycles, the Civil War, the War of 1812, Immigration, Famous People, etc. Though these topics seem intense and perhaps out of reach for 7 year olds, they LOVE them! The only problem is that they don't have their own books to read. We have 12 Listening & Learning domains and NO independent books for the kids. They have to rely on listening to my teacher manual being read aloud to them. They would be ecstatic to have their own domain related texts to read independently! We are requesting an extensive list of books. Our titles include science, biographies, social studies and more.
