Communities & Cultures Text Set
Who keeps a town running? What happens at a powwow? Why does a pool have rules? This set of 22 nonfiction books gives every student in your class something they can read on the people and places that make up a community — so the whole class builds the same knowledge and joins the same conversation.
Kids are already part of a community: a family, a classroom, a neighborhood, a team. This text set turns what they see every day into real social studies knowledge.
Twenty-two nonfiction books look at neighbors and neighborhoods, farmers, loggers, and other jobs, stores and markets, the rules we follow at the pool and at school, and the ways people celebrate, from parties and powwows to dancing, ball games, and the Olympics. Because the books range from simple to more challenging, every student — beginning readers and strong readers alike — can read about the same topic and contribute to the same discussion. Reading book after book on one topic builds the vocabulary and background knowledge that make comprehension possible.
