A Tugging String
David T. Greenberg • Narrator
The Arrow is the monthly digital product that features copywork and dictation passages from a specific read aloud novel (you purchase or obtain the novels yourself). It's geared toward children ages 8-11 and is an indispensable tool for parents who want to teach language arts in a natural, literature-bathed context.
This issue comes from the early years of Brave Writer's Arrows so it isn't quite as robust as more current titles (that's why the lower price). It's an oldie but still a goodie!
Literary element: Narrator
Writing activity: Explore first and third person

Duvy Greenberg is an ordinary twelve-year-old trying to fit in. He knows that his father, Jack, is a civil rights lawyer, but Duvy lives worlds away from Dorothy Milton, a black woman struggling to become a registered voter in Selma, Alabama. When Dorothy reaches out to Martin Luther King Jr. for help, she sets in motion a series of events that—with Jack Greenberg's help—will open Duvy's eyes to the reality of racial inequality and forever change the course of history.—Amazon
