ReviewedAll living things are organized into groups based on shared characteristics. Explore life classifications in this curricular high-interest, low-reading level series. This approachable look at key science curriculum keeps struggling readers engaged while carefully leveled text paired with dyslexia-friendly font and design makes learning more accessible. A final featured infographic aids in comprehension for visual learners while SilverTips for Success guide the readers on a review of key concepts from the book to help reinforce understanding and provide test-taking tips.
Info-focused titles exploring classifications of life, such as plants, animals, fungi and protists. Different types of life within each classification are explained in simple but scientific terms. Some titles begin with how readers may have come into contact with the lifeform, this is relatively simple for plants and animals, but fungi are explored through the human use of yeasts. Written at a second- to third- grade level, readers in grades three to eight may find the titles useful. This series may not have a lot of crossover appeal into a non-academic context, but could be very useful to an emerging reader who is about to take or is trying to be successful in a grade-level biology class. VERDICT: A good choice for supporting academic success.
