Description: The Geo Reader booklet is designed to help students increase their geographic knowledge and awareness through (1) books and activities that convey geographic concepts, (2) resources that provide information on the teaching of geography, and (3) incentive items that tie into the geography theme. The booklet contains a description of each book listed and an accompanying activity. Although the primary purpose of the activity is to increase students’ geographic knowledge and awareness, the activity is also designed to enhance students’ enjoyment of the book and stimulate their interest in reading. All suggested activities have been classroom-tested, and all books listed were found in school or public libraries at the time of the booklet’s publication in 1992.
