SEA Me Read: Swimming With Sharks (virtual)

Swimming With Sharks

The Daring Discoveries of Eugenie Clark

by Heather Lang and illustrated by Jordi Solano

In the 1930s few people dared to explore the depths of the sea, and none were women. But Genie wasn’t afraid. Follow “the Shark Lady” as she uncovers the mysteries of the world’s most feared fish! We read this biographical story aloud with your students and then engage in a learning segment to help build critical thinking skills, promote oral language skills, fluency, pronunciation, STEM engagement, and reading comprehension. A special thanks to Albert Whitman and Co. for making this lesson possible.
