Notable Native Americans (Big Ideas Low Intermediate)
David Bohlke
You may already be familiar with the names Pocahontas, Sacagawea, and Crazy Horse. But how did they become so well known? What was their early life like? How was their relationship with the early settlers to the United States? The 15 profiles in this reader go beyond the legend to tell the real stories.
This book takes a look at these and other important Native Americans. You will learn about Sequoyah, the inventor of the Cherokee alphabet. You will explore the incredible life of Susan La Flesche Picotte, the first Native American doctor in the United States.

Urban Legends (Great Stories High Beginner)
David Bohlke
“This is a true story! It happened to a friend of a friend of mine …”
Do you know the story of the silver hook? The
mysterious hitchhiker? The babysitter who gets some troubling phone calls? How about the story of Hanako-san, a Japanese schoolgirl who some say appears in school bathrooms? These are all examples of urban legends: creepy stories that people have told – and
retold – to their friends.
Urban Legends features 16 scary stories. Some seem
like they really happened. Others have a supernatural element to them. All are easy to read and enjoy, with simple grammar and vocabulary.
