The War of 1812: By the Dawn's Early Light by Heather E. Schwartz
By the Dawn's Early Light primary source reader builds literacy skills while offering engaging content across social studies subject areas. Primary source documents provide an intimate glimpse into what life was like during the 1800s. This nonfiction reader can be purposefully differentiated for various reading levels and learning styles. It contains text features to increase academic vocabulary and comprehension, from captions and bold print to index and glossary.
Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
This informational text about the civil rights movement of 1963 captures the inhumane treatment of African American girls who were prisoners in the Leesburg Stockade. The stories of these brave girls will inspire social responsibility. Includes Author’s Note, Timeline, Source Notes, Glossary, Bibliography, Further Information, Index.
This does a great job introducing a really wide range of women from history to present, with decent photos and succinct summaries. It's a great resource for younger kids, I think, because it works so well as an introduction. It definitely left me wanting more information about the women I was unfamiliar with, so it's a bit light on details. But I think that's purposeful, and it would work wonderfully to read with a kid and ask them which women they'd like to know more about. The other great thing about reading this is that you finish feeling pretty fantastic about women in general. It's a wonderful read for a day when you feel down about things like sexism; it will put in you in a great mood!… (more)
