Reviews

This series might be just the ticket for reluctant readers with curious minds. Each book begins with topic appeal ( It's like about sports ). This leads readers to explore interesting content, such as the physics of a golf swing, the architecture of a BMX bike, and the definition of a boo-wah day that's perfect for hang gliding. The crisp, clear text, highlighted by captivating graphics, invites visual integration that enhances comprehension. Sentences are short, uncluttered, and easy to navigate. The solid science is current and includes two-page chapters about cool stuff like artificial limbs and computers on humans. But these are not lightweight books. Tucked into their appeal is solid information about topics ranging from how David Beckham makes a curving three kick to how Serena Williams has her near-perfect shot measured by a tennis judge. Third through sixth graders of all reading proficiencies will be captivated by these books, not because they get to practice their reading, but because they are down-right interesting!-- NSTA Recommends
