Your child is reading “Rocking and Rolling” by Phillip Steele.
This nonfiction article tells what lies under the Earth’s surface and how the forces of nature have shaped the Earth’s features. As you and your child talk about these processes and try these activities together, you will be developing and exploring your child’s language skills.
Read All About It
Help your child read and discuss other books about the Earth’s land.
Look for books like these in your local library:
• A Walk Up the Mountain by Caroline Arnold. Silver, 1990.
• Volcanoes by Keith Lye. Raintree Steck-Vaughn, 1993.
• Our Earth by Anne Rockwell. Harcourt Brace, 1998.
Being Prepared
Help your child create a poster that lists what family members should do if a natural disaster strikes your area. Your child may want to take the poster to school to exchange ideas with other students after reading “Rocking and Rolling.”
