A read-aloud anthology closely examines human impact on the Earth while boosting reading comprehension skills. Through stories, scholars examine the concepts of natural resources, pollution, garbage, and recycling and brainstorm ways to help the Earth. Ten lessons follow the same routine—introducing, listening, discussing the reading, practicing word work, and completing extension activities.
