Literature for Students
Follow That Map! A First Book of Mapping Skills by Scot Ritchie is an excellent book for students at the primary level. It is about a young group of friends who are searching for a runaway dog. It takes them on an adventure that starts in the neighborhood and ends on the other side of the world.
Our World: A Child's First Picture Atlas by National Geographic is an excellent piece of literature to use when talking about geography, amps, and land forms. This big book is full of unique places, people, picture, and activities for students to enjoy and dive into.
Ming Lo Moves the Mountain by Arnold Lobel is another fun fiction book to tie into a discussion about land forms. In this story, a married couple lives beside a tall mountain that is making their lives very difficult. The wife wants to live in peace and asks that her husband move the mountain, but he is too small and must ask the wise man for help.
The Lorax: by Dr. Seuss is a children's book about a man who cut down the truffula trees to make sweaters. This is a great book that teaches students about the environment and how people use their natural environment to meet their basic needs and wants.
A Street Through Time by Anne Millard is a children's book that shows how a street has developed over the past 12,000 years. See a small village grow into a large city and watch the industry change as more people settle. This would be a great book to study patterns of human settlement.
