The world's largest reviewer of books, multimedia, and technology for children and teens
This spring’s life-science entries offer an assortment of possibilities for refreshing your 500 and 600 sections. Most of the series come with the expected set of nonfiction tools (e.g., TOC, index, glossary, bibliography), but in some cases, publishers are including more text cues to aid the youngest readers with decoding and comprehension skills. Series for older readers are adding questions to help students read to learn.
From understanding how their own bodies function to observing plants, animals, seasonal changes, and weather phenomena, students devote much of their time learning about topics featured in these series. Close-up photos, clear visual presentations, and lively texts will engage readers with some sets. Others will be perused only if assigned. Although there are solid choices to update or supplement collections, purchase of entire series may not always be necessary, depending on available resources.
