Stories & More: Time and Place combines three well-loved stories - The House on Maple Street, Roxaboxen, and Galimoto - with engaging activities that strengthen students' reading comprehension. In these books, the setting plays a primary role. Second and third grade students learn the importance of time, culture, and place in our lives. A framework of pre-reading, reading, and post-reading activities for each story supports the growth of students' comprehension skills.
