"Capstone Press invites young readers to explore the fascinating world of weather with its series Bridgestone Weather Update books. Weather Forecasting asks young readers: What should you wear to school tomorrow?; Will it rain on your picnic? Author Terri Sievert says that a weather forecast can help them find the answers. Speaking at a third grade reading level, Sievert explains that weather forecasting is a way to predict the weather. People who forecast weather look at weather maps and radar and satellite pictures. They study temperature, wind speed, and wind direction. They use computers to turn this information into a weather forecast. This report tells people what kind of weather to expect in the days ahead. If readers have ever wondered what a meteorologist does, how forecasters know when rain or snow is on the way, or what tools forecasters use to predict the weather, they will find the answers in Weather Forecasting. The striking photographs and easy-to-read text in the book provide all the facts on basic weather topics, including the effects of weather on people and wildlife. www.sirreadalot.org-- ""SirReadaLot.Org"" This Weather Update series includes books that are easy to read and provide children with a strong factual background on basic meteorology. Readers explore the effects of weather on people, animals, and their surroundings in a way that beginners can understand. Weather Forecasting sheds light on the work of scientists known as meteorologists. It helps students better comprehend how the tools and technology that exist today can help them determine how weather systems develop and which ones are moving into different areas of the world. Written at a second- to third-grade reading level, these books can be used by students throughout the elementary grades for gathering research information or just for enjoyment. There are eye-catching photographs, an internet site for students to visit for additional information, a glossary, and diagrams that further illustrate the information for readers. Because of their clear text and simplified design, the books in this series would support class and group discussions. They also lead naturally to opportunities for observation and data collection outside the classroom.-- ""NSTA Recommends"""
