Some of my favorite books include:

  • I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark by Debbie Levy
  • Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The Case of R.B.G. vs Inequality by Jonah Winter
  • Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Superwomen Role Models) by Heather Moore Niver

Though the intended grade levels are 3rd, 4th, and 5th, this product canbe modified and used with other grade levels. The biography mini-book reading level is between 3rd-5th grade, so please understand that 2nd grade might struggle with the text if asked to read it independently. Likewise, a 6th grader may find that text to be easy.

NOTE: THIS FILE INCLUDES A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!

This product includes a digital option (as well as the no prep printable option). The digital portion instructions appear at the end of the packet.

Please check out the preview and the thumbnails before purchasing, and allow me to answer any questions you might have!
