Aug. 2023. Tr $26.99. PreS-Gr 2— These introductory earth science concepts foster in readers an understanding of the world around them and how they fit in it. Beginning with dialogic assistance and post-reading options, these titles provide a nice option to not only learn about important building blocks of our planet, but also what they mean to readers. The picture glossary is really useful as a visual cue for reviewing the concepts from the core text. While the subjects covered are familiar, like rocks and water, there are enriching conversations about how each exists and adds value to the world in its own way. VERDICT The rocks and minerals titles are particularly useful for libraries with geological interests past paleontology.
In Minerals, beginning readers are introduced to Earth's minerals, where they can be found, and how people use them in everyday life. Vibrant, full-color photos and carefully leveled text engage beginning readers as they learn what makes minerals building blocks to many materials on Earth.
A picture diagram shows where minerals can be found in many everyday items, while a picture glossary reinforces new vocabulary. Children can learn more about minerals online using our safe search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. Minerals also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a table of contents, and an index.
Minerals is part of Jump!'s Earth Basics series.
