Remember Juneteenth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781733483179)

Produced by educators, this interactive book goes beyond the standard boundaries of rhyming books. It incorporates education with creativity, allowing any child to release their inner artist while learning about an often overlooked holiday: Juneteenth. Within its pages, children will absorb information through rhymes and verses. While they exercise their minds, they can also test their fine motor skills, adding color to the beautiful illustrations. With its large text and blank opposing pages, children can easily focus on the task before them, lessening the chance of being distracted as they navigate the book. This, in turn, increases reading comprehension and concentration, skills that will benefit children as they continue to grow and learn. Whether in an ESL classroom, homeschool library, or as a supplement to a literacy program, this book will be an excellent resource. The book combines history with creativity, giving children a hands-on learning approach that will last far beyond their first perusal of the book. Alongside each verse, notebook lines and standard-sized lettering encourage children to practice penmanship, whether working on print or cursive handwriting. While this exercise certainly benefits all children, those with ADHD and autism, in particular, will find this book to be a valuable tool. To further promote learning about the history of Juneteenth and the significance, children will receive research prompts and guiding questions that will showcase their critical thinking skills. With this level of interactivity, any child will find something to love in "Remember Juneteenth."
