Gente Que Hay Que Conocer/People

Weekly Readers are correlated to national and state curriculum standards for Science and Social Studies. This series of biographies is designed for beginning readers. Each book introduces one of the most important individuals in recent times and explains what makes them so remarkable. These books develop literacy skills by promoting all five of the essential components of scientifically based reading programs: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency. Teacher's Guides include detailed lesson plans for shared, read-aloud, guided, and independent reading activities that are reproducible and have performance-based assessments. They build a pedagogical foundation for guided reading as part of the Balanced Literacy classroom
