My students love to be read to. They are English Language Learners who are significantly behind in their reading skills. They have difficulty connecting to American History and Social Studies topics because the textbooks and supplementary materials are difficult for them to read and comprehend. These books will allow me to engage the students through read-aloud books which are written and illustrated in an engaging way. Students respond naturally to read aloud books and will be given opportunities to discuss, ask questions, write, and do hands-on projects within their learning groups of five to six students. They really need to learn about how our country has grown to be the great nation that it is!
