Publisher's Synopsis
"Even early readers need to become familiar with primary sources, though that term may be unfamiliar to them. They have heard about speeches, autobiographies, diaries, letters, and similar nonfiction resources, though. In this important introduction to primary sources, readers will discover how these first-hand accounts help them learn about people, events, and time periods. They'll also realize they can create their own primary sources for future generations to learn about them! The primary source is an indispensable concept as students hone research skills in the elementary classroom"--.
