Description
Ben Franklin and his Magic Squares is an entertaining Step 4 leveled reader that introduces kids to one of America's most inventive founding fathers. A magic square is a fascinating puzzle where any line of three numbers adds up to the same number, including on the diagonal. This charming book tells the story of Ben Franklin's creation of the "magic square" and shares amusing anecdotes about his life, such as having a pet squirrel. The story is presented in short paragraphs with challenging vocabulary, making it perfect for newly independent readers who read simple sentences with confidence.
