About this item

What is a suburb, and how is it different from a city or rural community? Readers find the answers to these questions and more through accessible text that reflects early social studies curriculum topics. Suburban communities are common across the United States, and readers explore one such community through accessible text and colorful photographs. While the close relationship between the text and photographs enhances reading comprehension skills, a detailed picture glossary aids in vocabulary development. A suburb is a fun place to live, and readers see why as they learn about this kind of community.
