2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Winds whip. Waves crash. Rain pours down. A superstorm moves across the ocean and gets closer and closer to land. Hurricane watch! Read and find out how hurricanes form, how scientists track the storms, and what you can do to keep yourself safe if one strikes. With colorful illustrations from Taia Morley and engaging text from Melissa Stewart, Hurricane Watch is a look into a powerful natural disaster. Perfect for budding meteorologists, Hurricane Watch is bursting with fascinating facts paired with engaging visuals and diagrams. This picture book also includes a Find Out More section with an activity on air pressure, web research prompts, and a glossary of storm and weather vocabulary. Both text and artwork were vetted by Dr. William J. Brennan of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for accuracy.This is a Level 2 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out, which means the book explores more challenging concepts for children in the primary grades and correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts and Next Generation Science Standards.

I absolutely LOVE this NF-RA book Hurricane Watch. Not only is it informative but it is entertaining and engaging! Which is exactly what we are looking for. The more engaging, the more the students will retain the information. Some things I love about this book are the little ‘did you know?‘ notes on the sides, the pictures with descriptions of what is happening at that point of the hurricane, #UCFLAE3414SP21

Spearsall continued: the detailed information about when and where hurricanes mainly come, the difference between a watch and a warning, and what precautions to take! This book is amazing for us Floridian teachers especially, because we have multiple hurricanes every year. Reading this to your class will help them understand more of what is happening and why all of the time! https://www.melissa-stewart.com/books/earth/bk_hurricane_watch.html Here is a link 3y
Spearsall continued: to Melissa Stewart‘s personal website which includes behind the book, reviews, book glance, ages, and the series at a glance. UDL Principle 6.2 is used: Support planning and strategy and development, since this is NF informative. ESOL strategy: link lesson topic to students‘ prior knowledge, is used here as well 🌪💨🌊🌫☔️⛈ 3y
