The Constitution is arguably the most important document in the United
States today. It forms the basis of all laws that are passed in the
country, and the Supreme Court's interpretation of the document has
influenced countless court decisions and new policies. For these
reasons, it's crucial for all American citizens to have at least a basic
knowledge of what the Constitution contains. Readers are given an
overview of this important document, helping them think critically about
proposed laws in the 21st century. Exciting fact boxes, sidebars, and
photographs add to this essential reading experience.

These brief readers introduce great vocabulary, timelines, classical artwork, and critical thinking discussion questions, and would make a great unit study (especially during an election year). There are factoids on people, places, and events throughout the pages that are easy to engage with and will stick in little minds. Nonfiction readers like these open students to further research and can lead students to interest-based learning during your school year. ~Rebecca
