Free Native American Lesson Planner, Indian in the Cupboard

Reading scores in the US are falling lower each year; you've heard this so often that you may have become numb to it. And boys seem more resistant often to reading for pleasure. If you're an educator or parent and you've become discouraged with the battle to get kids to read, don't give up yet. Here are several wonderfully crafted works of literature in the adventure fantasy genre that will delight 3th to 6th grade children, especially boys. I've detailed the books and created a literature discussion guide to use. Free Native American Social Studies Literature Lesson Planner: The Indian in the Cupboard Book
