 * Summary:** Perfect for the active student, //Kids Running// provides readers with essential pieces to becoming a runner.

 * Grade Level:** 1-6


 * Curriculum Connections:** While running is not technically a core curriculum component, this text would be great for the PE teacher to share and have students use during research. Also, many schools are starting running clubs in conjunction with local marathons and races where students can become more involved. This would be a great resource for students involved in these clubs as well because it provides them with a great deal of information and definitely will get them excited**.**
