Great Multi-Cultural Literature Units from every genre in 20 Award Winning Books!

Gifted and Talented Curriculum

You won't find a better list of books for young readers....and NON-readers! These books will spark a fire in every student!

Units on the nonfiction books like Through My Eyes by Ruby Payne, So You Want to Be President by Judith St. George, and Boss of the Plains by Laurie M. Carlson foster interest in learning more about history and the character behind those who make our country great.

Units on the realistic fiction books like Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo, Bud Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis, Good Luck, Mrs. K! by Louise Borden, and When Zachary Beaver Came to Town by Kimberly Holt build empathy, the foundational character trait.

The historical fiction units on Nory Ryan's Song by Patricia Reilly Giff and Abbie Against the Storm by Marcia Vaughn put faces to courage and inspire students to develop that trait, too.

Activities include: 

• logic and crossword puzzles, 
• vocabulary study, 
• journal writing, 
• cross curriculum problem solving, 
• research projects, 
• authentic assessments
• writing prompts,
• cooperative learning, 
• excellent literary circle guide,
