Publisher's Description of Animal Armor (National Geographic Reader Level 1)
Get to know scales, shells, and other kinds of amazing animal armor in this engaging Level 1 Reader from National Geographic Kids, now with more than 125 books from Pre-reader to Level 3 in the series.
Packed with beautiful and engaging photos, kids will learn all about these fantastic creatures. Learn about animals with shells, scales, and spikes! This Reader is carefully leveled for an early independent reading or read aloud experience, perfect to encourage the scientists and explorers of tomorrow!
Engagingly written
with vibrant photographs and illustrations, budding readers are bound to find a
book they want to read! The readers are almost magazine-like in the quality of
the photos and the short segments of interesting text. The information is
concise and does not overload the children as they read, which enables them to
easily read through a book with a sense of accomplishment, while learning great
information.
Level 1 books are written for new readers and are
available in two options: Level 1 Co-Read and Level 1. The Level 1 Co-Read
titles identify one page for the parent/older sibling to read and the opposite
side for the budding reader. The parent/sibling side provides the parent an
opportunity to model reading more challenging words and provides interesting
topical information to create interest. Level 1 Readers focus on advancing
independent reading and include occasional side notes to be read for more
information. Some titles (typically the Science titles) include easy to do
activities to engage young learners. Targets PK-1st grade although
content and skills may be appropriate for a slightly older reader who needs to
build fluency.
