Little Women (Core Classics Series); Abridged (Core Classics Series)

Core Classics Series Stories loved for generations come to life for today's young readers in the Core ClassicsTM series. Faithful to the style, plot, and themes of the originals, Core Classics are designed for use as classroom editions of the literary works listed in the Core Knowledge Sequence. They include introductions by E. D. Hirsch Jr., editor of the Core KnowledgeÂ© Series (What Your Kindergartner - Sixth Grader Needs to Know). The Core Classics are generally considered suitable for fourth and fifth grade students. The texts are illustrated, annotated, and include a brief biography of the author. Little Women, by Louis May Alcott, has been one of America's favorite novels for almost 150 years. This edition of Little Women is designed to ensure that students get the most out of their time with the March sisters - Beth, Amy, Jo, and Meg - as they endure hard times and learn about the importance of family and friends. Set in New England during the Civil War, the novel exposes readers to life in America during a pivotal time in history, from the emotional turmoil caused by the Civil War to austere yet elegant fashions and ideals of the Victorian era, from bouts with scarlet fever to the complexities of human relationships. The Core Classics PlusÂ® Study Edition presents a slightly abridged version of the original text, suitable for fifth graders. It contains end-of-chapter discussion questions, extensive vocabulary glosses and footnotes, as well as writing, history, grammar, and other language arts activities throughout the book. Illustrations by the author's sister, May Alcott, from the original version, along with many new illustrations by our own artists, will appeal to younger readers. Hardcover, 264 pages including author biography, glossary, and Resources for Writers appendix.
