Even More Supersized

There are full-page color photos and facts presented in text and also in captions set off in boxes. The visuals in this book may help the struggling reader and writer access the information. There is a glossary with photos, suggested books for further reading, and a web site with links that include a link to learn more. Also, there is crossword puzzle that you can use online (or you can download it). There is also a page that has information and photos of several other [similar animals]. I would use this page for a compare/contrast activity. Although the publisher has labeled this book for grade 2 level reading, I would use this book in PreK and K classes when introducing insects and then put the book in the science center. Interest is labeled K-3 and I think the book could belong in those other classrooms as well.
