Realms of Gold: A Core Knowledge Reader (Volume Three)

All the shorter literary works - poems, stories, essays, speeches and autobiographical excerpts - specified in the Core Knowledge Sequence for Grades 6-8 are conveniently anthologized in three grade-level volumes. Each includes additional classic works in each genre, offering students handy supplemental texts from the world's greatest writers. Key speeches from the 20th century make volumes 2 and 2 useful for history teachers.
