Series Review: Epidemics and Society These books are all high-interest/low-reading level which is very helpful when teachers are differentiating for reading levels in the classroom. The format in this series also lends itself nicely to group work as each book not only has information on the history of the disease, the disease itself, and the future of the disease, but also a Myth vs. Fact page, 10 Great Questions to ask a Doctor , and interesting facts about famous people associated with the disease...This series lends itself not only to science, but to social studies and language arts curriculum as well. --VOYA Magazine Series Review: Epidemics and Society For up to date information on epidemics that have plagued society for hundreds of years, this series will be most welcome...Short sentences and many pictures, photographs, and diagrams make these good for lower level readers and for differentiating instruction by providing current materials on a variety of reading levels...Schools needing current, low reading level materials would benefit from this series. --Library Media Connection
