READ-ABOUT SCIENCE
These little books open up science for those reading at
first grade level, with striking full-color photos and minimal text in very large print.
Each book seeks to explain one simple concept or animal, and covers less ground than the
NEW TRUE books or the LET’S READ AND FIND OUT SERIES. But they practically beg to be
read, even by those over the 5-8 age range. They are 32 pages long and cost 4.46-D
each if in print.
Cat. # RKSCI or use BTH # if there is one.
Where guided reading levels are indicated they are Fountas & Pinnell levels.
I do not always have all these books in stock, but I am willing to order any
that are still in print. Titles without descriptions are likely to be out of
stock, as are titles with no BTH number.
It Could Still Be a.......books show how plants or
animals in the same family may differ and what makes them related, or how non-living
things can have different forms. Other titles pretty much explain themselves.
