5.0 out of 5 stars Helen Keller, April 10, 2008

This review is from: Helen Keller: Courageous Advocate (Graphic Library: Graphic Biographies) (Paperback)

I bought this to use in my 6th grade reading classroom. It is excellent to use to teach reading skills such as main idea, author's purpose, or summarizing. I put it in a center and students have 10 minutes to use the book for an assignment. Since it is at a lower reading level, students have success in building skills to use in higher level texts.

This book is a good addition to the grade 1-6 classroom library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Story of Helen Keller Told in Graphic Form, August 1, 2008

This review is from: Helen Keller: Courageous Advocate (Graphic Library: Graphic Biographies) (Paperback)

My students are ESOL students so I enjoy finding books that have pictures because they aid comprehension of text. My students are also less familiar with American History and culture so being able to picture how people dressed and behaved in history is even more important. I think my students will learn a lot from this interesting book and I've found that even my homeroom students love these Graphic Histories and Biographies from Capstone Press. Highly recommended.
