Martin Luther King, Jr. (National Geographic Kids Readers, Level 3)

What a very nice book! I purchased this book so we can read and learn more about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., there are so many great facts and tidbits in this book, it really kept the kids interested the whole time. I also love how there are questions in the back of the book to ask the kids to make sure they understand and remember what they read. We are very happy with this book! My kids are 12 and 5, much of what went on in the book went over the five-year-olds head but my 12 year old understood everything and enjoyed it.

It is a great, quick read for 4th grade for small group or MLK day!

I purchased this for a homeschool lesson for my 8 yr old. Very easy reading and understanding for her level. Great real life photos. Very educational and really tells about his life. The book provides a great glossary of words and timeline that I was able to use as interactive learning.

My 7 year old son loved this book. The entire series of National Geographic Readers is very well done, which interesting facts and photographs. The content is presented in a colorful and kid-friendly format.

Great easy comprehensive read with my 5 year old who is so excited to learn more about Dr. KING. Great addition to our civil rights and kindness learning lessons. This was an amazing addition to the introduction to such an important man and movement.

My 2nd grader had a project for school on Dr.King this book was perfect for teaching him important facts.

I bought this for my 4 year old son during Black History Month. It's written at his level, describes this time period in simple, clear, yet honest terms, and has interesting pictures. I love that it also shows the MLK Jr. monument in DC, as we will be taking a trip there soon, and he is excited to see the monument. I also got Each Kindess by Jacqueline Woodson, which is a great companion and conversation-starter.

My grandchildren enjoy being to read about Dr King on their own level.

Magazine écrit en anglais. A l'occasion de la journée commémorative de MLK (3ème lundi du mois de janvier), j'ai offert ce magazine pour ma fille de 6 ans. Je craignais qu'elle soit un peu trop jeune en lisant le descriptif car à la base il est destiné aux enfants en âge de pouvoir lire et découvrir le magazine seul mais ça été à sa portée sans problème en l'accompagnant dans sa lecture. Ce magazine permet d'introduire de nouveaux mots de vocabulaire tels que la ségrégation, les droits de l'homme, le boycott, etc On y parle de Rosa Parks et de Gandhi brièvement aussi. Sincèrement, je trouve ça très bien fait et pas besoin d'attendre d'être grands pour en parler et découvrir tout ça. Donc c'est génial. J'ai aussi trouvé que le magazine engageait les jeunes lecteurs à agir face aux injustices, à se battre mais comme MLK dans la non violence. Il est mis en exergue le pouvoir de la parole. C'est un magazine engageant. Bref je recommande vivement car ça a plu à ma fille donc parfait.

Habe das Heftchen gekauft, um mit meiner Tochter Englisch zu lernen und ihr gleichzeitig eine der unglaublichsten Persönlichkeiten des 20. Jahrhunderts nahezubringen ... war absolut erfolgreich!!! Werde noch weitere National Geographic Kids bestellen ...

My 5 year old got fascinated with ML king in preschool when they touched on him so i got this book - It's perfect, not too much information and good language for her to understand

This book from National Geographic is a superb work by author Kitson Jazynka about Martin Luther King Junior and even a young reader can understand and enjoy it without any assistance. The book has real life pictures, big colored text, side bars and sketches that keeps you glued till the end. It gives full information about Dr. King’s childhood, his studies, his struggle for equal rights of Blacks and Whites in the US. The life story of Dr King inspires readers to stand up for their rights and also tells that violence is not the way to make a change and our words have a great power with which we can change the thoughts of people in a peaceful way. The book also has an interesting quiz section in the end and is a must read for every school child.

I purchase these for my grandchildren. They really enjoy these books, as they are geared to children who are learning to read. The rating system is fantastic, and really does help you decide which level your child is reading at, and their ability to understand what they are reading. Fantastic books.
