Informational Text- Leopard Frogs

Leopard Frogs

My goal for this week is to evaluate Informational Texts from the DeSales University Library so that way any aspiring teachers in the area can use these books for their classrooms. As I was gazing through the curriculum section in the library, I noticed this book for young easy readers. In this book, the young reader will learn more about leopard frogs, their habitat, their tactics in the wild, their mating habits, and much more. I am no expert on depicting age ranges for these books, but I would say this is a fantastic book for third graders. I would suggest this book to any young child who is interested in wildlife. 

This book I would say is good for young easy readers because the words are not of high frequency and the book is built into chapter format. This book has a new concept on each page about leopard frogs and supplies a bunch of pictures for a young readers to enjoy. It is not too much information for a young child, but leaves them hanging wanting to know more. On the last page, it gives websites for children to look at for more information. I would say that this book is a great tool for kids to get engaged to learn more. With all of this in mind, I would give this book a nine out of ten for informational text and would suggest this book to any aspiring third grade teachers. Find this book in the DeSales Library!
