Engine Whistles Grade 5

The Fourth and Fifth Grade Readers are special. By this time the student is on his way to reading independently and these readers (one per grade level) provide quality information as well as practice in their stories. The Fourth Reader Singing Wheels is about life in pioneer days. In addition to the same enjoyable although less numerous illustrations, the book is full of little educational drawings of animals, equipment, etc. It is like a living museum wrapped up in a book. The Fifth Reader, Engine Whistles, contains stories that trace the development of transportation and inventions. This one also has small drawings of the components of different types of inventions such as various automobile parts (i.e. lamps or horns).
