OUR UNITED STATES GEOGRAPHY
Our Regions and People

Beverly Vaillancourt

The best choice for remedial geography lessons - written at our lowest reading level!

Our United States Geography shows the real America by illustrating the terrain and explaining how geography influences each state's history, economy, and social development. More than 60 maps, 150 photos, and thousands of interesting facts make geography so attractive to low-level readers that they'll want to see the country for themselves!

Using short (3- to 4-page) chapters for each state, the text describes the geography and natural resources of the state, defines geographical terms, identifies famous state residents and famous sites, provides map skills activities, and more.

Supplementing the main text is the Our United States Geography Workbook, with 50% map activities that link geography with local people and events, plus historical anecdotes. Special Bonus: The Workbook includes an 8-page Multicultural Section that identifies the history-making citizens of each state.

Plus there's a Teacher's Guide that includes supplementary information.
