Tricia Stohr-Hunt has a nice blog called Open Wide, Look Inside. She highlights social studies, science and math books that are particularly accessible to children, as well as sharing connected activities.
I was particularly impressed by her listing of civics-related books, many which I use with my English Language Learners and that I learned about through a whole lot of searching.
Tricia’s blog will save you a whole lot of time if you’re interested in finding literature accessible to Beginner and Early Intermediate English Language Learners in the content areas.
Hi Larry,
Thanks so much for mentioning my teaching blog. I also blog at The Miss Rumphius Effect, where I review nonfiction for kids. I also have a series of thematic book lists you may find helpful.
Best,
Tricia
