Captured Words

Level 5

Captured Words was previously part of our Level 5 Language Arts Book Set. Even though our Level 5 Language Arts Course Set has been discontinued, we are continuing to make available the wonderful books that were part of this set, 25% off while supplies last!* These reprinted books are not an official part of our classics sets, but are fantastic additional reading for students in middle elementary grades.

It can’t be done. At least that’s what everyone but Oquana and her father, Sequoya, think. They won’t let others’ doubts deter them, though, for Sequoya’s dream is too important: the Cherokee people need a written language for communication and so their history and stories won’t be forgotten. The task of capturing words on paper isn’t easy though. Dislike and mistrust plague Oquana and Sequoya every step of the way, but they keep trying, for they may be running out of time. The Cherokee Nation has begun to split up, and a written language may be the key to keeping peace between the two groups.
