Seeds of Science/Roots of Reading - Strategy guides for grades 2-5
link
Seeds of Science/Roots of Reading is an integrated reading and science curriculum for elementary school classrooms designed by the Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California. The complete curriculum is not available to homeschoolers, but "strategy guides" are available online for free. The strategy guides are lesson plans for teaching reading, text analysis, and research skills along with science via 63 different books, from relatively simple picture books to reference books.
The topics include Earth science, physics, chemistry, and biology. This would be a valuable program for a child who is interested in science who wants to fully grasp the information presented in books.
