Read and
Understand Science Series. The books in this series have nonfiction
and realistic fiction stories which address the objectives drawn from the
National Science Education Standards. They cover the areas of life
science, physical science, earth and space science, and science and technology.
Since science content necessitates the use of specific vocabulary, this science
vocabulary was discounted in determining the reading level for the stories in
these books. Page 3 in each book has a list of suggested science vocabulary and
other challenging words that were used in each story, so that the teacher may
introduce it before the story is read.
Each story is followed by three pages of
activities covering specific skills. Comprehension activities take two
forms -- multiple choice and "write the answer. " There are also vocabulary
activities and a related language or science activity. The publisher suggests
the stories be used for shared and guiding reading experiences. They provide
excellent opportunities to teach nonfiction reading skills such as scanning for
information and gleaning information from illustrations and captions. The books
are reproducible for classroom use and ready to use. Each book is 144 pages and
includes illustrations which support and enhance the text.
