My Community: New York City Over Time

This companion audio-only set, developed in connection with New York City's second grade social studies core curriculum, provides access to historical content for struggling readers and English language learners. It can be used to build content awareness, develop active listening skills, and increase aural capacity and overall reading ability. When paired with books from the series, My Community: New York City Over Time, this audio-book set provides a multi-media exploration of the role that immigration, technology, culture and development have played in making New York City into the diverse urban community that it is today.
