informational Reading: Spring: Science Reading Passages Magazine Style

The Informational Easy Reader Science Passages: Spring contains 4 spring-related, easy-to-read science articles in magazine format for ages 6 to 8, but which are also suitable for older special needs children.

Help children develop a love of reading while stimulating their minds to learn about the world around them! Help children to take learning outside the classroom.

For some, you may light a spark that will encourage a hobby, or even lead to a child becoming an eminent scientist!

This is a product that you can use to suit your own purpose! Children love to see how they can read REAL information. For some children, factual information is more of a stimulus to read than fiction. Try it on your reluctant readers and see!

This volume contains articles on the following:

• Spring showers: Find out what they are and why the plants love them!

• Blackbirds: Learn about blackbirds and their nesting habits

• Spring Butterflies: Find out which butterflies to look for and how to identify them

• The Pond in April: Learn of three easy-to-see pond creatures
