Let's Read and Find Out Stage 2 Archaeologists Dig for Clues by Kate Duke*

A group of children spend a day with Sophie, an archaeologist, digging up area in a corn field where Archaic people once lived.
A wonderfully detailed book about how an archaeologist spends a day, not only at the dig site, but also in the laboratory categorizing finds.
Humor is woven into the characters', dog's and cat's speech bubbles.
*Highly recommend.
Tons of vocabulary and information!
My seven year old and I took turns reading aloud this book together for school.
Teaching strategy: nonfiction text features; scan and plan (how to plan and read nonfiction)
