Points of View: Sets 1 ? 7

In a culture that is growing increasingly polarized,
respectful debate often falls by the wayside. Through an alternating format of
arguments and counterarguments, readers learn this skill as they are exposed to
all sides of today's most hotly contested issues, including vaccines, gun
control, and vegetarianism. Fact boxes highlight important statistics, while
graphic organizers arrange information in a way that is easy for young readers
to absorb. These elements augment the objective main narratives to create a
foundation for children to form their own opinions while still understanding and
respecting the opposite point of view.

• Background information provides
context for each issue, enhancing critical thinking skills

• Balanced
narratives encourage objectivity and respect

• Colorful design and bright,
full-color photographs appeal to visual learners
