About this reader

This reading passage teaches elementary students about *Latitude*, one of the basic tools of geography. Students learn that lines of latitude run horizontally and measure how far a place is from the Equator. The passage explains how latitude affects climate and is used in maps and GPS tools today. It introduces key terms like *Equator*, *degrees*, and *coordinate system* in a fun and easy-to-read way. Designed for grades 2–5 and aligned with Florida standard FL.SS.2.G.1.1, this passage builds strong geography foundations and helps students understand how to find places and describe them using latitude.
