This text can be useful in integrating literacy into social studies instruction because it takes place during the Civil Rights Movement and addresses some key figures and events from the time period. By pairing this book with other books about the time period, such as Martin's Big Words: The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., teachers can address content knowledge necessary to meet standard 5.RI.IKI.9 requirements (TN Dept. of Education, 2017, p. 37). This book can be particularly helpful in letting African American students see themselves and their beliefs, history, perspectives, and culture in literature. The recommended age group for reading One Crazy Summer aloud is = grades 3-5.

White's (1952) classic is best suited as a read aloud for grades 3-5. It is a useful text to introduce students to narrative elements of novels such as setting, plot, characters, etc. For this reason, it can be used to address the fourth grade standard 4.RL.KID.3 which states, "Describe in depth a character, setting, or event in a story or drama, drawing on specific
details in a text, such as a character’s thoughts,
words, or actions" (TN Dept. of Education, 2017, p. 29). Charlotte's Web is also a great book for this standard because the emotional connection readers make with Wilbur and others allows students to dive deep into discussions about the characters' feelings.

This book can be used to offer students a different perspective of the journey immigrants, particularly Mexican immigrants, take to reach the United States. It can also be used when addressing standard 2.RL.IKI.9 by pairing it with another book that tells the story of immigration to the U.S. from a different perspective or culture (TN Dept. of Education, 2017, p. 37). I think that this book would also be suitable for students who have recently immigrated to the U.S. so that they can see themselves reflected in literature. Esperanza Rising is best suited for independent reading at the middle school level; however, as a read aloud, fifth graders could digest a chapter or two a day.

When paired with One Crazy Summer, reading this book aloud meets standard 5.RI.IKI.9 requirements in that two texts on the same topic are addressed to teach content (TN Dept. of Education, 2017, p. 37).

It can serve well as a read aloud during social studies instruction to engage or introduce students to the topic of Civil Rights or MLK Jr. Day. While this book can be used alongside of One Crazy Summer to support older students' understanding of the Civil Rights Movement, it is also suitable to read in grades K-2 as an introduction to this topic
