Review # 1 was written on 2017-02-21 00:00:00 Dell Isam Title: Presidents Series: Eyewitness Books Author: James G. Barber Reading Level: ZZ Guided Reading: 9 Traits: Organization Using the details. The details create pictures in the reader’s mind and are plentiful from beginning to end. The writer’s knowledge about and/or experience with the topic is evident through the use of accurate details, credible information, and believable anecdote. The book has been organized by succession but also related different Presidents through out time. The book includes lots of biographical details. Presidents is a nonfiction informational text that includes lots of pictures, cool organizing tricks and somehow is still text heavy. The reading level is high for elementary students but because there are somany tidbits that fit multiple reading levels that the frustrsation level remains low even for students in lower grades. I decided to include this book along with a few others of the eyewitness series because even though some of the reading is above level for many of our students, it remains popular. This text would also be a wonderful resource dor reserach because it includes lots of biographical detailds about the Presidents and their many accomplisshments over our history.
