The books in this collection reflect three goals: take kids on a high-energy, exciting ride; thoughtfully and appropriately immerse children into a place and time; and highlight the power of one individual, often a child, who makes a difference in the world. This historical fiction collection will help your students become powerful readers—able to handle complexity, conduct on-the-run research, and feel empathy toward characters seemingly unlike themselves.
The books in this library shelf are also included in the complete Grade 5 Below Benchmark Classroom Library. For complete details about the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project Classroom Libraries please visit CalkinsLibraries.com.
