10/9/2014: Anniversary of the first telephone conversation

On October 9, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas A. Watson held the first wire conversation when they spoke to each other by telephone over a two-mile wire stretched between Cambridge and Boston.

My first-grade Level F reader Alexander Graham Bell combines reading and social studies activities to provide interesting facts about Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone. Your students will build their vocabulary and improve their reading comprehension as they read the story, answer questions, and have fun with the criss cross puzzle.
