My 3rd grade son, Alex, had to do a book report on a nonfiction book. He chose this book because they share the same first name. My son struggles with reading, but his teacher really wanted him to try to read a book that was grade level appropriate, and this book fit that criteria. This book was very difficult for him, and he would not have made it through the book on his own. He read the entire book out loud, to me. We did one chapter per day for 10 days, and we were done. There was a lot of information in the book that was not only new to my son, but to me as well. I have now purchased several other "Who Was" books for my children. My 6th grader is the most interested in these books. She loves to read nonfiction. The reading level is probably too easy for her, but she enjoys them anyway, and she is learning about famous people in history!
"Who Was Alexander Graham Bell" Talks about, well, Alexander Graham Bell.It says some things you might not know about this guy. The telephone is a big part in this book, but also talks about things like how he helped Helen Keller, about how he almost saved president Garfield, and how he attempted to create flying things( @$ In Airplanes). In short, a very informational book, reallÿ enjoyed it.I definitely recommend this book.
these books are great for my 4th grader. it gives great info about the person in words and descriptions he can read and understand. His teacher was also impressed with the information he used in his book report.
Attention ESL teachers for adults: These are great for teaching your more advanced students some great American History their children get to learn about, and share them with their elementary age students. Easy enough to take turns reading aloud but challenging enough to interest adults.
Another book for my students to enjoy reading about Alexander Graham Bell. The information followed the unit pretty well and gave another resource for the class to depend on. Thank you for your prompt delivery service.
My nine year old requested this book. Although the reading level is a bit too easy for her, she loves the series.
Not as good as some of the other books in this series but well written and worth a read to learn more about Bell and his accomplishments other than just the telephone!
My kids love the whole series. They quickly read this title, and said they really enjoyed it. I don't know specifics, but they're all engaging and informative.
