George Washington (National Geographic Kids Readers, Level 2)

I love the National Geographic Readers. As a teacher, there is so much I can do with the books to enhance reading skills. There are a number of the readers that are biographical and they are written in a format that younger kids can read. There are different levels of these books but I like this particular one. I have used them with good second grade readers, 3rd and 4th. They are great for pointing out nonfiction elements such as Table of Contents, In dex, Photos, Maps, Illustrations, Diagrams, Captions, and Headings. They are very colorful and contain real pictures that add so much to the interest. They often have a glossary and key vocabulary words. There are a number of these books so it is easy to do some compare and contrast discussions about the key characters.

I like it’s simplicity, pictures and facts. This book is Attractive and well organized. Great for teacher’s visual aides, that is why I purchased it.

I've never had a bad book from this series. They all are written with any gory/violent details of the person's life nicely worded such that the little ones don't get scared, but the books still convey what the person went through to become worthy of his/her own book. The illustrations and nice because it helps the little ones figure out what is going on even if they can't read all the words.

We were learning about coins and one of the kids in the class who is autistic was fascinated with George Washington. The book is very educational. We read it and he wanted to know more.

This is very colorful and will keep the kids attention. Not to much information to feel bogged down. I recommend for a cute little focus on him for a history class. Or as a gift to a learning reader.

Simple and educational. Great introduction to history for a six years old boy.

My daughter was doing a 1st grade project on George Washington. I got this book for her to do research. She loved it! She is now obsessed with George Washington and American history. The photos in the book are wonderful and the content is educational and entertaining. Highly recommend!

My 8 year old daughter loves George Washington. I originally brought it for her book report to cut out pictures and facts but she loved the book soo much that she didn't want to cut it at all! Great read for kids.
