5.0 out of 5 stars volcanoes mountains of fire, October 2, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Volcanoes: Mountains of Fire (Step Into Reading: A Step 3 Book) (School & Library Binding)

I think that this is a good book and I know that this is a good book. The part I like about it is when the volcano erupts.The part I don't like about it is when people died.I
would recommend this to a 4th grade reader and I would have preferred for it to have more pages. I give it a 5 stars because it has nice pictures and I learned new information about volcanoes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book ... cross curricular!, August 13, 2006

By	Teresa Morejon "TeresaMorejon" (West Palm Beach, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is great to use in a center when teaching a unit on landforms and is also great for those kids who are aching to know more about the science rhelm of volcanoes. It's age appropriate and children at the Step 4 reading level will be challenged enough with it. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars geology reading to support early readers, June 26, 2009

By	M. M. Hennessy "M.M. Hennessy teacher" (San Jose, Calif USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is informative and easily read. I used it with my second language learners to support the earth science unit I was teaching in 4th grade. The photos and illustrations are excellent. It is well organized, and exciting. It is an Accelerated Reader book so the students can take a vocabulary test and a comprehension test on line to demonstrate what they learned and to win points. Even my most recent immigrants could read it and earn their 0.5 points in comprehension. Good book!!
