Teaching students how to "read deeper" can sound daunting. But one way to introduce this task and simplify it as much as possible is by using everyone's favorite children's author, Dr. Seuss! Who knew that many of Dr. Seuss's books contained underlying political and social themes? Take for example, The Sneetches--can you see the anti-Semitic undertones Seuss tries to get across to his reader?
The website above is a great tool for "The Political Dr. Seuss" and a great way to ease students into reading for deeper comprehension by using easy, fun books they already know and love!
