Living In a Rural Area

This is an early reader book about three sentences per page. Unlike the other books in this series the vocabulary words are not in bold-faced type, but a glossary in the back of the book defines words that may be unknown to students. The content is accurate and for an early reader book tells the story very well. The text deals with life in a rural are and includes both farming and non-farming environments. Where appropriate it does identify farms and ranches that will be found and the type of agriculture they represent. This would be a good book to introduce the concept of rural versus urban in the early elementary grades.
