Growth (The Science Behind) - Softcover

This is a wide-ranging series, covering many key science topics taught in school. It is particularly good for reluctant or struggling readers, being written in an engaging fashion and making excellent use of the visual resources - photos, diagrams and labelling - to complement the text. Good use is made of objects and experiences with which young readers are familiar and this enables them to relate well to the content of the books. Each book features a 'try it yourself' activity, which is excellent for reinforcing learning. There is a contents page, glossary and index, which are all straightforward and ideal for the learning of reference skills. A well thought-out and practical series. --parentsintouch.co.uk website Nov 12
