United States Geography Reader
United States Geography Reader is a high interest reading
comprehension program designed to be teen friendly. It divides the
continental United States into eight geographic areas and gives
details on twelve unique tourist destinations within each region.
Destinations were chosen to appeal to middle and high school
students and will engage all teen readers. Teen user-friendly travel
destinations include: Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and
Museum, San Antonio’s Riverwalk and Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry.
Includes 96 lessons in total.
Each lesson consists of a one-page story written in a modified
travel brochure style at a Grade 3-5 reading level, and two pages of
comprehension quizzes about the story. Students locate their
destination on a map and connect its location to their own state and
town of origin. And they’re encouraged to write their own
experiences and opinions about suggested sites. Each lesson is
illustrated and includes actual photographs of the locations.
Internet addresses are added for further learning opportunities. By
Ellen McPeek Glisan. Includes a CD with a PDF of the entire book for
