This review is from: A Historical Atlas of Colonial America (The United States, Historical Atlases of the Growth of a New Nation) (Library Binding)

Any teacher may find this book useful for teaching early American history because of the actual historical maps available. The book may work to integrate math and social studies. For English Language Learners, practice in the native language--if Spanish--may facilitate the process of helping students learn the principles that may be assessed. For example, the teacher may select a page from the book and ask questions such as: What is a word that has more than one meaning? Is there a word that you do not know in the selected segment, and if so, can you guess at the meaning based on the sentence or paragraph? Find a word on the page and give a synonym. Find another word and give an antonym. This book may be a good book to practice understanding directions.
