Hailstorms

Storms are a fascinating topic and a great way to get young readers interested in science. This series uses simple text and dramatic, full-color photos to take students inside nature's powerful and deadly storms. Each book explains one kind of storm -- what it looks like, how it forms, the damage it can do, and how people can protect themselves from danger. The series features:

- Leveled text correlated to the second grade science curriculum

- Text vetted by both a reading consultant and a science curriculum consultant

- Close photo/text match to build reading comprehension

- Full-color photographs that illustrate the force and destruction of storms

- Maps

- Color diagrams that explain how storms form

- Glossaries to build vocabulary
