Our Thoughts:
Happy International Women's Day!

Nat Geo Readers presents Susan B. Anthony!

Learn all about the life of Susan B. Anthony, from childhood to her teaching career where she fought for equal pay, and beyond. Anthony thought that slavery should be abolished and that women should have the right to vote. She devoted most of her life to speaking out about equal rights for all and is celebrated as an international icon for women's rights.

This educational little biography is a Level 1 Co-Reader, which is perfect for sharing between kids who are learning to read and a parent! Each spread includes a paragraph that the adult or caregiver can read paired with an easier to read paragraph for the young reader. Each is clearly marked with an 'I read' and 'You read'. 

2020 is the 100th anniversary of women winning the right to vote and this is the perfect book to teach and learn a little about what women had to do to earn that right.  Of course, this book sticks to easy-to-understand facts, mostly covering Susan B. Anthony's life from birth to death, but also a bit about the political aspects of her life and what she fought for. 

This book includes directions on how to read this book and several discussion questions to ask your child and an easy voting activity that only requires a little artistic ability and a few members of the family! There is also a letter to the parents about the National Geographic Readers program and how important it is to read with your child/ren.
