I find this to be the biggest problem I have when I work with my inner
city students. I ordered Time Magazine., Schoastic News and National
Geo for kids. I needed them all, but they really made a difference.

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.
