Core Classics Series Stories loved for generations come to life for today's young readers in the Core Classics series. Faithful to the style, plot, and themes of the originals, Core Classics are designed for use as classroom editions of the literary works listed in the Core Knowledge Sequence. They include introductions by E. D. Hirsch Jr., editor of the Core Knowledge Series (What Your Kindergartner — Sixth Grader Needs to Know). The Core Classics are generally considered suitable for fourth and fifth grade students. The texts are illustrated, annotated, and include a brief biography of the author. A powerful testament to the human spirit — the life of Frederick Douglass is presented in a new Core Classics Plus study edition especially prepared for young readers. To the classic text we’ve added lavish illustrations, historical backgrounds, vocabulary in context, lots of cross curricular activities, writing extensions, projects and much, much more. This primary source material is splendidly suitable for American history, social studies, and literature classes.
