K-3National Geographic Readers series.
Each first reader opens with a list of featured words, then pairs vivid, close-up stock photos with usually brief sentences enumerating animals in motion in their habitats. The photos, labeled with animal names, sometimes lack clues to help readers decode and interpret vocabulary, necessitating adult intervention. Periodic multi-clause sentences that are split across full-page spreads may add to emerging readers' challenges. Swim includes a map. Activity appended. Review covers these National Geographic Readers titles: Hop, Bunny! and Swim, Fish!.
