Perhaps you have already seen this story about a sexist airplane passenger leaving a note to his plane’s female pilot. The author of the note (illegibly) claims that “the cockpit of an airline is no place for a woman.” Clearly that is ridiculous, hopefully during Women’s History Month this individual may have the chance to learn more about Amelia Earhart! Your class can also learn more about her in my reader “Amelia Earhart - Soaring High.” In this story students will learn facts about one of the most famous women in American history who was a pioneer in the field of aviation.
This book is part of a collection of leveled readers “Famous Women in History” for second through fourth grade features stories about eight women and their contributions to history:
Amelia Earhart -- Airplane Pilot (level L)
Abigail Adams -- First Lady & Crusader for People’s Rights (level L)
Clara Barton -- Founder of the American Red Cross (level N)
Maria Mitchell -- Astronomer (level N)
Helen Keller -- Inspirational Speaker (level O)
Ellen Ochoa -- Astronaut (level P)
Laura Ingalls Wilder -- Pioneer and Author (level P)
Millie Hughes-Fulford -- Scientist in Space (level R)
Each book highlights specific grade-level concepts and vocabulary. An accompanying set of worksheets reviews the targeted literary skills.
