This book was a GREAT supplement to my Martin Luther King Jr. Day social studies mini -unit. The kids (higher functioning ASD) were able to follow along and understand the life as it was for African Americans then. I also used it in our Social Skills class to reinforce Theory of Mind skills.
I like this book because I like it when the children/students not fighting back when they were put into jail by a police because Martin Luther King told them to fight back with words, not with their fists.
The Who Was/Who Is series are very good biographies for young readers..... My daughter and son have both asked for more of the books from the series. We intend to purchase all of them for their library.
I bought these for my third grade classroom. They are great for the biography genre and then to use for report writing. The three years I've used them so far the kids LOVED them. Easy for their reading levels, informative, and people they have heard of in their lives. They would read their own and then read other that they had heard of. Could have left these books out 1/2 year and they would have still been reading them.
I am a big fan of the "Who Was/What Was" book line. They provide excellent facts and details about people and events in way that young readers can understand. We bought this book to help with a school report. It was a great tool for research and even included two timelines in the back of the book, one timeline of his life and one timeline of world events. The book included great facts and details about Martin Luther King Jr.'s life beginning with his childhood and continuing after his death, and included some small illustrations. I would definitely recommend this book to any grade 2-5 student looking to learn more about MLK.
We had to purchase this book for my daughter's school reading list and I love how it is written and I also very much enjoyed the illustrations. It helped my daughter to understand more about this time in our history and because of this book she became very interested in learning more about Martin Luther King, Jr.
I bought the kindle edition of this book for a school assignment for my daughter. It's an easy read for 3rd-4th graders. The book covers early years as well as everything MLK Jr did for the civil rights movement. We have really enjoyed reading this book, my daughter and I both learned a few things!
Very informative and interesting even to the youngest grade-schoolers. This book taught a 1st grader about MLK Jr., and gave him an good understanding about this part of history. I found it very interesting to read as well as an adult. I'd like to get more of these books in the future.
