>> For students who are advanced readers or are just really fascinated by a particular person, the "Who Was...?" series is a great resource with a very large number of titles. Might be better for read-at-home or read-aloud options though, because if I recall correctly they'd be leveled closer to 3rd or 4th grade.

>> I'm really stumped. Our first grade team is looking for books at a first grade level for their historical fiction unit. Every year we struggle to find resources. PebbleGo is one resource that helps, but they would like print books. I have the Ordinary People Change the World series, but they need more. Do you have any suggestions for a series of biographies or other books that would fit their need? They are now also hoping to add a kid perspective....kids who have changed the world. I'm quite stumped! Very difficult finding anything that 1st graders can independently read on this. These are the people they would like:
>>

>> · Booker T. Washington

>> · Harriet Beecher Stowe
