The Titanic story has always fascinated me.  The tragedy of the lives lost, the courage of those who gave their lives to save others, and the hardy determination of the survivors to get out of the frigid waters….it’s just enthralling.  One might think that it’s not a surprise, since we all know the tragic ending of the Titanic.  The story lives on!  From the discovery of the Titanic’s ruins to the tales of those who survived, all of it is amazing to me.  My family recently visited the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge, TN and found that there’s so much to learn about this epic disaster and the love stories that it inspired.  When we approached the museum, I wasn’t sure how my children would react.  Would they be interested in an event that happened over 100 years ago?  Would they appreciate the history?  Could they understand the depth of the tragedy?  I was so surprised by the reaction of my children, especially my 8 year old daughter.  She couldn’t get enough of the stories and facts.  She wanted to read the caption of every artifact and listen to every crew member as they described life during the early 1900’s.  As we left, she asked if we could visit again so she could learn more.  Wow!  Isn’t that what every parent wants to hear?   That’s why I’m giving away a copy of the National Geographic Readers: Titanic issue.
These are wonderful publications written for children ages 6-9 (although many of my 6th graders LOVE to read these, too!)  The National Geographic Readers are filled with high-quality images and encourage children to learn important reading skills such as noticing captions.  It’s very high-interest, too, which motivates children to do further research.  Read this with your child and you’ll find that it’s a great way to have conversations.
