Alignment: This title will allow students to describe the connection between two individuals, events, ideas, or pieces of information in a text.

K-Gr 2-With controlled vocabularies and word counts of less than 300, this set takes early elementary students on a journey around the globe. Each spread has two to three simple sentences about an aspect of daily life, frequently focusing on themes with which readers will already be familiar, and examples are drawn from all parts of the world. Pages are illustrated with colorful photos that are well matched to the text, and locator maps on each spread are a major strength. Eats, School, Games, and Sports are the best of the group, since they cover subjects that are most interesting to children. The remaining topics are occasionally generic (housing and modes of transportation) and are less likely to capture and hold student attention. VERDICT Written for a slightly younger audience than the stronger "My World Your World" (Ruby Tuesday, 2015), this set is a good supplemental read-aloud or beginning reader selection.α(c) Copyright 2011.
