We the Kids is an NF book providing a kid friendly introduction to the constitution. This book provides Tier 3 vocabulary definitions and the pre-amble with funky illustrations that help spark interest and guide understanding of the pre-amble. This could be used as an RA and S. David Carrie also provides a forward informing his readers why he created this book and how this helped him establish his own freedom through art.

LaurenR This link provides a lesson linking the goals of the pre-amble to classroom guidelines. #UCFLAE3414F17 (edited) 7y
LaurenR ESOL standards I would use: #5- teach technical vocabulary supporting key concepts. #19-establish predictable classroom routines through the use of an outline on the board or bulletin board. #15-reinforce the key ideas you present again and again. 7y

Jaquessial I believe this would be an awesome book for social studies. 7y

We The Kids is a nice RA , NF book that you can cross teach as social studies as well as it is The Preamble to The Constitution. It‘s beautiful and detailed pictures give a visual way for young children to try and comprehend the large words that can be used in the Preamble. One UDL that can be used is 3.1- activate or supply background knowledge such as the history on the United States.

Susancruz Also EL 29- offer a variety of reference materials at the students‘ instructional level for independent use so they can further learn about the constitution. The link takes you to a website that provides lesson plans for the Preamble as well as other history lessons you can do.

This is my most non-reader kiddo of my three. She is slowly changing... big part of that change is due to seeing how my #litmail group works.
She is so excited to be a part of #JuniorReaders. She is currently getting the journal she picked out ready to mail!

Here's the sign-up for the Junior Reader's Fall cycle. All cycles will be starting together. The current cycle ends in October. Sign-ups close in September. I am starting sign-ups this early so you can decide if it is something you & child want to do. Additional information is included on the survey, which is a simple 3 question survey. Unfortunately, there was not enough interest in the 16-18 age group. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KY9QBJM

readinginthedark Is this an exchange, or do the books rotate through until they get back to the original owner? Also, does it matter if I'm still reading to him? I think my son would have so much fun with this! 8y
JuniorReaders It is a book club for kids, so they rotate through each cycle until they get back to the original kid. It doesn't matter if you're still reading to him! 😊 @readinginthedark 7y

Hey everyone! Currently we have age groups 4-6, 7-8, and 9-12. I am curious if there are parents who would like to sign up children who are older. If you'd also like to sign up for the age groups we already have, please take the survey. If there are enough people interested, I will open up to more age groups! http://bit.ly/2qNdXqb

MeganAnn @RadicalReader he does! He is in third grade now and is reading chapter books on a regular basis. We also read a lot of them together. 7y
RadicalReader @MeganAnn transitioning from picture books to chapter books is the biggest moment in a child‘s life like the permit to drivers license for reading monumental 7y
MeganAnn @RadicalReader absolutely! I love seeing him grow as a reader and finding books I know he will enjoy on the process 7y

We the Kids by David Catrow was a favorite book of mine that I picked up at Barnes and Noble. This book is about The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States. I found this book very interesting simply because it breaks it down in a way that younger children will be able to understand the specifics of what it all entails. It is written in a way that children would be interested and intrigued! http://www.catrow.com #UCFLAE3414sp17

DrSpalding Catrow's illustrations truly make the book for me. An excellent read aloud during a social studies unit. 8y
