Omschrijving
The lesson on families is very strong, and the concept of students as change agents is heartening. This book can help the classroom teacher and school librarian to transcend banal readers and prescriptive reading programs to introduce good, engaging social-studies books. Although the tight lesson structure may seem limiting, especially the worksheets, they are an easy reach for the busy educator.

This book can help the classroom teacher and school librarian to transcend banal readers and prescriptive reading programs to introduce good, engaging social-studies books. Although the tight lesson structure may seem limiting, especially the worksheets, they are an easy reach for the busy educator.
Book suggestions are offered at three levels: Primary (picture books that would be adequate for grades K-2), Intermediate (grades 3-6), and Middle (grades 7 & 8). However, high school teachers might find lessons that would supplement their curriculum as well. Recommended.
Andrea S. Libresco is professor of social studies education as well as codirector of elementary education and of the minor in civic education at Hofstra University. Jeannette Balantic is social studies curriculum coordinator in the Garden City School District in Garden City, NY. Mary Battenfeld is associate professor of humanities at Wheelock College in Boston, MA.
