About
the
Series
Benchmark
Rockets is a nonfiction program for grades 3 to 9 that gives essential support
to struggling and non-native readers in important curriculum and high-interest
topics. Each title uses a clean, clear, modern design to engage readability.
Background knowledge of subject matter is incorporated into the text. Vocabulary
is defined at first point of use and in a glossary. Sidebars and other graphic
elements are used to enhance knowledge.
Lions and
tigers and bears, oh my! Each book in the
Animals
series focuses on one of the many animals in the natural world and takes kids on
an easy-to-read but meaty tour of their habits, habitats, and hunting
strategies, as well as their interactions with the natural and human world.
Simple sidebars provide background knowledge and enhance the text. Maps show the
range of each species, and each book looks at conservation issues.
