4/5/2014 Happy Birthday Colin Powell!

Today is the birthday of American politician and general Colin Powell.  He was born in Harlem, New York City, NY on April 5th, 1937.  

In my fifth-grade level U reader Colin Powell - Helping Young People your class can learn more about this four-star general and the first African-American U.S. Secretary of State.



The four-page story is accompanied by two pages of worksheets which reinforce literacy skills involving reading, language, spelling, and writing. Specific concepts, skills, and vocabulary targeted in the story are listed on the first page of the reader.  This is one of the fifth-grade readers in my original series of leveled books which I have written to incorporate the Fountas and Pinnell leveled vocabulary, Rebecca Sitton spelling words, and common core curriculum standards for grades K-6 in the United States.
