About Literature
Literature suggestions are included in every part of Kids Learn Liberty because stories are an engaging and powerful path to deep understanding. As you share books with your child, help him or her make connections between the Concepts for Kids and the story elements.
Unless noted, the Literature Connections are picture books. Though picture books are aimed at young audiences, they are written for adults to read aloud to children. Picture books often contain sentence structure and vocabulary that make them difficult for children to read to themselves. For the same reason, picture books are enjoyable for all ages and sometimes even have content designed to entertain the adult readers. The illustrations are an integral part of the story.
Literature for beginning or early readers is short, has some illustrations, and uses familiar words in simple sentences. As young readers become more proficient, they begin to enjoy early chapter books with more complex plots and fewer illustrations
Chapter books with few or no illustrations are aimed at older elementary students and beyond. Good ones are still accessible to younger children if they are read aloud by an adult or older child.
