OCTOBER’S READING IN SPANISH
GRADE 3
READING FOCUS: This month’s reading presents information in a variety of ways, with two different types of nonfiction books. Families can encourage their third graders to share interesting facts they learn.
Creativity & Curiosity
Verdadero o falso de mascotas (True or False: Pets) Written by Melvin and Gilda Berger All about various pets... True or False? Parakeets can learn to speak. True. They can learn at least a few words. This photographic nonfiction book from Scholastic’s True or False science series is in a fun question-and-answer format. The book contains 22 true or false questions with a full-color photograph of pets on every page. Kids will read the question on the right and turn the page to see the answer on the left. Every answer also includes a bonus fact.
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING & MATH
THE WORLD AROUND US
Imagination & Exploration
Así vamos a la escuela (This Is the Way We Go to School) Written by Edith Baer & illustrated by Steve Björkman Enthusiastic children around the world are on their way to school. But how do they get there? The answers are as varied as the landscapes, which range from Egypt’s sandy desert to Switzerland’s snowy peaks. Jaunty rhymes and exuberant watercolors celebrate the individuality of each locale, and there are plenty of humorous details to please eagle-eyed readers as they join their fellow students to travel by ferry, trolley car, helicopter, and more.
