Reading Level: Fluent Use: independent reading; research material
Thoughts:
Rabble Rousers is the stories of twenty famous women throughout American history. All twenty were/became American citizens and all twenty made a notable difference in American history. Each woman has a two page spread that focuses on her primary achievement. Intermingled are four different timelines featuring the four most common struggles in the biographies: Civil Rights, labor, abolition, and women's rights. The appendixes at the end of the book feature ways to get involved, contact information for key people, and lists of books for further reading.
The book is clearly for fluent readers. The pages are mostly small text without supportive illustrations. Many of the words used are less common vocabulary words, words with multiple syllables and difficult definitions.
Rabble Rousers would not be my favored choice for a read aloud. Small sections of the book could be read aloud during lessons featuring the person, but it would not make for a good sit-down and read from start to finish read aloud. It would be a good book for independent reading or for use in a small, classroom research library."
