We The Kids: The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States by David Catrow



Nonfiction
3rd Grade

Catrow begins the book explaining his first encounter with the Preamble to the Constitution. He explains to kids the importance of the document and what it means. The next part of the book explains what each part of the Preamble means in terms kids would understand. Then finally Catrow breaks the Preamble into different pages by each section and provides an illustration that will help students with understanding what each part means.


Before reading this book with my students I will divide them into groups and give them a copy of the Preamble. I will have them write down what they think each part means. After the students have done this they will share with the entire class. Once each group has presented we will read this book so that the students can get an understanding of what the Preamble means and see if their interpretation was correct.
