Some of my favorite books to use with this Malala Unit include:

Though the intended grade levels are 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade, this product can be modified and used with other grade levels. The nonfiction reading passage is appropriate for 3rd-5th grade, so please understand that 2nd grade might struggle with the text if they are asked to read it independently. Likewise, a 6th grader may find that text to be easy.
This PDF file contains 47 pages + Google Slides™.
