These DK Eyewitness books have truly become a sensation at our home. They are filled to the brim with fascinating facts and vivid, colorful pictures that instantly capture the attention of our children. We have been using these books as non-fiction read-alouds for our early elementary students. Typically, we cover one 2-page spread each night. It's a wonderful way to introduce them to different topics and expand their knowledge.
Although the books are aimed at Grades 3-7 for an independent reader, they are also highly engaging for younger children when read aloud. The organization of the books is excellent. At the end of each book, there are sections dedicated to discussing the various jobs involved in studying the topic, the tools used, and places where one can go to obtain more information. This additional content not only enriches the learning experience but also encourages further exploration and curiosity.
Overall, these DK Eyewitness books have been a great addition to our home library and a valuable resource for our children's education. We highly recommend them to other families and educators looking for high-quality non-fiction reading materials.
