Favorite biographies - 5th grade level or so?

Hellen Keller would be a great bio to read.

I've read, like over 30 books on her when I was in elm school.

Has she read the Little House series or the biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder? The American Girl books are historical fiction, so they may appeal to her as well.

Like previous posters, I was going to suggest Helen Keller or Anne Frank. Rosa Parks may be another good one, but I don't know how much biographical info exists about her in a format that would work for a 5th grader.

Maybe she'd like reading about the presidents and their families -- stories about their lives in the White House. Many presidents had children, pets, etc., and the First Ladies had some interesting stories as well. Think the Lincolns, the Roosevelts, Dolly Madison, the Kennedys, etc.

sorry, no help on biographies since my kids just don't read them, and all i'm remembering from my own childhood was clara barton (and i'm thinking whatever it was must be awfully dated by now).

but if historical fiction would suffice, try "the true confessions of charlotte doyle" by avi. great book, set in the 1800s, about a girl on a transatlantic passage. my sixth and fourth graders would not put it down, and they rarely venture out of the fantasy genre.

it truly is the variety of complicated difficulty. i'm prepared to adhere out my neck and declare that for the period of addition the glaring incontrovertible truth that there are truly adult adult males suffering DV, the quantity is nowhere on the point of proportionate to ladies human beings human beings persons. law has continuously been a topic, because of the very truth there are those who will abuse it for his or her very personal ends. There are women human beings persons doing this each day and that i'm confident some adult adult males might want to abuse it too given the threat. the problem with violence antagonistic to adult adult males is that it has continuously been of the hidden variety: distinct psychological torment and the certainly injuries are in a lot of situations small and cumulative quite than something you're waiting to be able to wish to march all the way down to the police station with and record a grievance; and what number adult adult males record a grievance besides? in incontrovertible truth that more suitable women human beings persons than adult adult males ultimately finally end up on mortuary slabs each and every three hundred and sixty 5 days consequently of being immediately beaten through companions. i does no longer advise something that eliminates any protections to chop back this. distinct the artwork for adult adult males might want to wish to be to modify the common public theory and the perceptions of regulation and the police who look to have an inbuilt concept that each and everybody DV occurrences are male on lady, optimal useful to computerized arrest of men. the perception is supposedly to eliminate the component optimal probably to reason damage, yet it truly is a prejudiced infringement of rights. As an aside: the training of thumb regulation (that a guy might want to wish to conquer his better 0.5 with a stick no thicker than his thumb) grew to change into into continuously a fantasy in English regulation. the problem grew to change into into that it grew to change into into continuously taken as a truth and the thickness of the stick lower than no situations mattered besides. the want to settle for this regardless says a lot about DV.

I liked a biography about Helen Keller. it was really inspiring. and Maybe Dr. Suess? I was also interested in world war two in 5th grade so maybe something about Anne Frank or Another holocaust surviver? Sounds cool.

I would personally recommend the biography of Jenna Jameson. It is a touching tale of her struggles of adversity and standing out as a woman in a predominantly male-oriented society.

A true inspiration for any young lady. Both of my daughters have accepted her as a great role model.
