About Riding in Cars

“My students loved taking a book home to share with their families. They loved the illustrations. I had a couple of students tell me that their parents are wearing seat belts now, because they read the book to them. They were proud”
“Prior to the students reading Riding in Cars, there were mixed responses about wearing seat belts. Students said their parents or big sister or brother did not wear a seat belt. When they shared the books with their families, students were excited that they were helping their family to wear seat belts.”
