Where on Earth? World Geography

by JoAnn Early Macken

Correlated to both the social studies and science curriculum, this Spanish series introduces English Language Learners to map skills while providing them with a wealth of age-appropriate information about habitats around the world. Clear text describes each geographical feature, how it formed, and the type of animal and plant life it supports. Three maps in each volume indicate where on earth the habitats can be found and introduce students to such basic map features as symbols, legends, and the compass rose.

Read to help my kindergartener with her advanced reading test at school. Good story on lakes and animals living by the lakes.

Borrowed from her school.
