\"\"I love the National Geographic Kid’s books for early readers. Here are two recent books in their “Readers” series that focus on the ocean<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Ocean\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
\nby Jennifer Szymanski
\n48 pages; ages 2-5<\/p>\n

This book\u00a0is a level 1 co-reader, meaning that it’s a book for a shared reading experience between a kid just learning to read and a parent or older reader. It is divided into four chapters of 6 to 10 pages: Water in the ocean; Ocean homes; Animals in the ocean; and People and the ocean.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each spread introduces a single idea, such as what oceans are, how waves move, or what coral is.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The left side presents text for the older reader. Text on the right side (I Read) is in larger font. Some words are bolded – words about the ocean, places, action words. After each chapter is a section called “Your Turn” – a matching game or other activity for kids to do to further explore the ocean.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tide Pools<\/strong><\/em>
\nby Laura Marsh
\n32 pages; ages 4-6<\/p>\n

This is a book for kids who are beginning to read on their own. It opens with a color-coded table of contents. Topics are presented in yellow and orange sections, while green indicates an activity. Throughout the pages you’ll find text boxes with seashell icons. Labeled “Tide Pool Talk”, these highlight new words which are also featured in the photo-glossary on the last page. The Q & A boxes are fishy jokes, and others provide labels and information about the photos. It’s a fun way for beginning readers to learn that information comes from text AND captions, labels, and sidebars. I love the “cool facts” about tide pool critters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Head over to\u00a0Archimedes<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 Notebook for another book review (Coral Reefs) and some fun links.<\/span><\/p>\n
