We’re thrilled to release this exclusive biography toolkit. This toolkit was made by educators for educators and is meant to pair alongside your instructions and facilitation of different biographies in the classroom.
These activities are intended for any biography for young people. There are various activities featured in the toolkit such as a timeline, Venn diagram, KWL chart, author and illustrator study and biography organizer. This toolkit is designed to be flexible and adaptable to your teaching needs. The resources are suggested activities, and we encourage you to use this to complement your existing resources or lesson plans.
Here are some suggested biographies broken down by grade level bands:
⭐ "This upbeat offering promises profiles of 15 disabled athletes but delivers even more. . . Readers will come away with an enhanced understanding of the scope of adaptive sports (BMX, surfing, CrossFit) and great respect for these dedicated, tenacious athletes." —Booklist
