*Students can join at any time, but reading the book before class is necessary. 

In this class, we will meet every week to discuss an I Survived Book by Lauren Tarshis or a Who Was Book. This class will focus on historical people and events. Please see the book schedule and themes. 

These wildly popular books are a great way to bring history and reading together. These books make history more relatable to students and studies show we learn and retain more when we can relate to the information being presented. 

Whether you have a reluctant reader or an avid reader, the I Survived and Who Was Series will capture their interests and keep them reading. These historical fiction books allow readers to be transported into the midst of historical events, following brave young protagonists who take part in these events. 

During class, we will explore the plot, characters, setting, and historical context as students share their thoughts and insights. Learners will also be asked comprehension questions, to share their thoughts, and learn new vocabulary. 

We are kind, caring, and encouraging teachers. We are here for you and your student. You are welcome to reach out to us at any time and we are committed to providing you with periodic feedback on your child.

Our team of educators, each with a degree in Education and a shared passion for reading comprehension, understands the importance of engaging with non-fiction books. We believe in blending historical fiction with factual accounts to make complex historical events more accessible and engaging for students. With a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm, we bring rich, dynamic, and informative lessons to the classroom. Our goal is to help students connect with the past, understand the significant events of World War II, and foster a lasting interest in history through these compelling narratives.
