For all levels, introduce the topic and highlight key terms, time lines and maps. • Point out that studying the information in the Datafile pages can aid understanding later when reading the text. • Although most activities are designed for use after reading the book, some are best completed before students read.

You can distribute all of the activities at once or pick and choose the skills you want to reinforce. During reading: • Provide a comfortable place for students to read. It is important that the reading experience be made as enjoyable as possible for students. Soft music can also be playing in the background while students are reading.
