Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.

This week in class, we’re reading "A Spectacular Ride" by Drollene P. Brown.

In "A Spectacular Ride," a young girl must find a way to protect her village during the Revolutionary War.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Community and Honor & Courage as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"What is the importance of community?" and "What makes a hero?"

Ways to support your child:

  • Ask your child about this historical fiction at home:
    • What was "A Spectacular Ride" about?
    • What did you learn about Community?
    • What did you learn about Honor & Courage?
  • Watch Liberty's Kids 121 - Sybil Ludington at home with your child.
