Manatees - LAZ Reader [Level P–second grade] app for iPhone and iPad

SECOND TO THIRD GRADE readers will enjoy reading read about these large, gentle sea mammals that are shaped like chubby dolphins and have pudgy, wrinkled faces. This book describes the various species of manatees, where they can be found, and their behaviors. It concludes with a discussion of the threats to manatee survival and steps being taken to protect these endangered animals. Discussion questions after the reading help build interest and comprehension. Learner objectives: making inferences, syllable patterns.

The app features interactive glossary pages that encourage early readers to explore challenging words through pictures and example sentences.

Learning A–Z provides materials delivered online and through the iTunes Store that help children learn to read, write, and discover the wonders of science. All our materials are leveled so that children can access information at their reading level. Our leveled readers begin at level aa with labeling objects. In level A simple sentences are presented. With each level thereafter the sentences get more complex and the words become a little more difficult.

A QUICK GUIDE IN PLACING YOUR CHILD at the appropriate reading level is to understand that level aa to C provides average kindergarten instruction; D to J—first grade; K to Q—second grade; R to U—third grade; V to Z—fourth and fifth grade. The letters earliest in the alphabet match beginning of the year instruction while letters at the end of each grade range match skills at the end of that grade year.

THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE AS PART OF A TWELVE-BOOK SET IN THE LEVEL P LIBRARY.
