We the People: Civic Values in America

November 15, 2014
Grades 3-5 Helping students understand how their government works and become active citizens is the goal of the Primary Source Readers: Content and Literacy in Social Studies series. An assortment of modern and archival photographs, sidebars, and in-text pronunciation guides aid in comprehension of the straightforward text. We the People emphasizes principles of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights and highlights actions that even young Americans can take to reflect being a responsible citizen. Some overlap among titles reinforces important topics and allows readers to make connections. Each title ends with related activities and a glossary. A solid introduction to civics basics.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
