SLJ Review of Skilled and Vocational Trades

These books share essential information about careers in five skilled and vocational trades. Each of these well-organized books begins by introducing the history of each job, as well as the education, skills, personality, working conditions, common work schedules, and average starting pay for a variety of roles. Readers will learn what a typical workday looks like for web developers, construction equipment operators, and dental hygienists. What makes this series stand out is its hi-lo (hi interest, low reading level) format and its specialized information on popular topics within each field. VERDICT An excellent series that high school guidance counselors should consider for their collections.
