Kids' Wings Literature Guides
Most
of these award-winning science novels and picture books are
in your library! (If can't find them, you can order them by
clicking the titles below.) Check out two or three copies of
each for your class. Let students choose their favorites and
form literature groups. Give them copies of the Kids' Wings
units to guide them to find the special treasure inside each
book, to develop valuable skills, to problem solve, and to help
them work together as a group! Science can reach many "unreachable"
children!
