My nine special education students are so curious to explore their world, but lack great informational texts. The Smithsonian collection will help fill the gap by providing encyclopedias that are kid friendly with excellent imagery that will captivate their interests. I fully expect that these books will spark a curiosity that will further their interest in becoming lifelong learners. The books will open their world to space exploration, the elements of our world, animal science, important events in history, inventions, the human body, caring for our environment, and so much more. For students that often have a difficulty starting a chapter book, I know these books will be highly used and hold the attention of even my most reluctant readers!
