In Soil, beginning readers are introduced to soil, what it is made of, and how plants grow in it. Vibrant, full-color photos and carefully leveled text engage beginning readers as they learn how soil supports life on Earth. A picture diagram shows different types of soils, while a picture glossary reinforces new vocabulary. Children can learn more about soil online using our safe search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. Soil also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a table of contents, and an index. Soil is part of Jump!'s Earth Basics series.
