Description

The Reading History series is written specifically for history students who struggle with the high reading level and concept overload of history textbooks. Each 32-page unit in the series is concise, focused, and written below grade-level. Students are encouraged to jot notes in the margin, and underline or highlight important information within the text. Each lesson includes: • A reading strategy to help students navigate the text; • A think-aloud that models the reading strategy; • A brief summary of the key concept; and • Helpful review questions.
