National Geographic Kids Readers: Erupt!

National Geographic Kids Readers: Erupt!
Joan Marie Galat

National Kids Geographic

Kids will burst with excitement as they learn all about the science and wonder of volcanoes in this new National Geographic Kids Reader.The Level 3 text provides accessible, yet wide-ranging information for fluent readers. Plus, the book includes 100 fun facts for quick and quirky information on all kinds of volcanoes, all around the world–and even some that are out of this world! The Facts Readers series bridges the gap between short, digestible knowledge nuggets and informative sustained reading.

Children are naturally curious about the world around them, and

curiosity is a powerful motivation for reading. Studies show that

informational reading is critical to success in school. National

Geographic Kids Readers allow you to feed your children’s interests

and create readers who not only can read, but also want to read!

To sustain children’s excitement about reading, we have created a

special program called NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC KIDS SUPER READERS.

As kids read each National Geographic Kids Reader, they cross

off its picture on a free National Geographic Kids Super Readers

poster that parents can download from kids.nationalgeographic.com/ superreaders (http://www.kids.nationalgeographic.com/superreaders).

Throughout the process, kids and parents go to the website and

download specially designated prizes that reward their effort. Kids

can have even more reading fun online, with lively book-related

activities, quizzes and games, fascinating excerpts, and sneak

previews of upcoming books.

The National Geographic Kids Super Readers program appeals to

kids’ love of accomplishment while providing them with incentives

to keep reading. When the reading experience is fun, children learn

more and achieve more. What could be better than that?
