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 "Egyptian Mummies" by USHistory.org.

"Egyptian Mummies" discusses the process a deceased Egyptian noble goes through to be prepared for the afterlife.
