In this introduction to botany for young readers, the narrator presents a selection of wildflowers during a fictional tour of an old farm. Learn where they grow, their names, and notable features (petal colours, leaf shape, etc.), with each new fact introduced in a gentle conversational style.
You will learn about wildflowers in general (common to the Northern Hemisphere), and about specific plants as well, all from a teacher whose love of flowers and respect for young minds shines through the pages. The text also includes a very manageable handful of scientific terms.
This book is an excellent beginner’s botany text, being neither too simplistic nor overly detailed. Once you’re done, you will very likely be able to recognize a number of common wildflowers the next time you take a nature walk.
For English Language Arts purposes, this resource is suitable for young readers who are ready to begin to read longer texts; the format and Reading Comprehension questions focus on reading more than writing.
Drawings of the flowers – some colour and some black and white – help to entertain and inform as you read.
Included in this resource are:
The complete text in fourteen short chapters
Following each chapter, four to six very simple reading comprehension questions which need not be answered in full sentences (single words or short phrases will do)
A vocabulary vist
Decorative mini-poster pages ; the student may want to label the flowers and hang the pages on a wall as a pretty reminder of what they’ve learned.
