Panama Canal: Global Gateway

The Panama Canal is a modern marvel, but the idea for it arose in the 16th century through Spanish exploration. Deemed impossible at the time, humankind would have to wait a few centuries to see it become a reality. Readers will love learning about the history and science behind this wonder. Books of the Real Life Readers Program use real life scenario narratives to help readers further develop content-area reading, writing, and comprehension skills.
