ReviewedPine trees grow tall! But these evergreens start as tiny seeds inside pine cones. In this low-level text, young readers will discover the stages of pine tree growth from seed to pollination to fully grown tree. Labeled photos combine with a picture glossary to reinforce the leveled text, while additional features highlight what pine trees need to grow, show how pine trees can be used, and underscore the pine tree’s life cycle.
This See It Grow series focuses on different fruits and vegetables, explaining in very simple language how the plant grows and flourishes. A Blastoff Reader, the book uses text features effectively with diagrams, textboxes, and boldfaced words to help young readers understand the growth process. Vibrant photographs with close ups of the fruit or vegetable provide a perfect compliment to the basic text. Science teachers covering plant life or young readers learning to read independently will find this attractive series useful. Includes glossary, index, and supplementary material. THOUGHTS: The size of these books are just right for little hands. The pictures teach as much as the text, and the large print text is ideal for beginning readers. This series is a good selection for lessons on plant growth.
