Great for Readers Workshop

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

We were gifted a subscription to Nat Geo Kids and my son (5yr old) has really enjoyed it. He is a pre-reader but has been able to decode some words. The print is a perfect size and there are just enough words on the page. It's perfect for his comprehension level. He is about to turn 6, very interested in nature and does have a slightly higher comprehension level than most kindergarteners but I would still say it's appropriate for younger readers.

Inspires Readers

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2018

The best series ever for young readers. It is very hard to find books for young readers that are based on the natural world. The photos are beautiful, the storyline is full of accurate, interesting, scientific facts about the creatures, and has a vocabulary building review at the back of the book. And each book in this series has several upside down jokes that reference the animal, an added point of interest for Montessori and all children. BTW, I have gotten more than 30 of these books for my classroom. Highly recommended!

Save the bees

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2018

I think everyone needs to teach their kids about the bees, and how to save them. My husband is a bee keeper so this book was essential for our home library for the kids. Lots of pics and great facts.

My son picked this out to write a “report” about bees. He’s in kindergarten so a report equals 3 sentences consisting of have, are, can sentences. He gave this book 4 stars because while it was very informative some of the facts were “gross” 😂

The NG Readers are great for kids

The NG Readers are great for kids. My 3 year old loves them. I read level 2 to her, and I learn a lot as well! This is one of my favorites from the series. There is so much I never knew about bees.

A FIRST RATE TEACHING TOOL

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

Concise, not overly wordy. Teaches younger children a lot about honeybees and the pictures are first rate! A great tool for teaching children the importance of the honey bee. I highly recommend.

Great photos!

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2018

I purchased this book for my grandson who is 5. He loves to learn about the insects and birds he sees around him. This book will be easy for him to look at the great photos and for me to read to him as well.

I love these books. I'm constantly looking for interesting nonfiction texts for my classroom. These are perfect for my third graders and they can not get enough of them. Kids are constantly coming up to me and telling me new facts that they have learned from the books in this series. Great for science, reading, social studies, history, vocabulary, etc. Highly recommended!
