Editorial Reviews: Roots for Kids is based on a twelve-week course the author developed for her fourth grade class. While the book is suitable for adoption by teachers seeking to supplement their middle school social studies curriculum with material on family history, its principal use will be by and with individual young people. The author moves slowly and carefully, as she takes young readers through an introduction to genealogy, to discussions of their families and their parents families . . . learning how to ask questions (oral history) . . . researching local, state and national records . . . using libraries and historical societies . . . much more. In short, Roots for Kids will teach youngsters how to create a simple family tree and give them both the tools and appetite to learn more about their roots and to uncover the stories and events that make them and their families unique.
