Teaching background knowledge is critical to our struggling readers and ELL students. My ELL kids did not even know that they lived on a coastline or even what a coastline is! I am guilty of assuming they know more than they do. Do any of you know of good authors, titles to teach social studies (third grade). We are ordering for next year now. I have a lot of biographies, Native American, Black and Women's History and some geography books but I am looking for some new titles, especially historical fiction.
