The thing I find most fascinating about the Quirkles: Exploring Phonics Through Science is it's versatility to age groups and it's no nonsense content. Quirkles will appeal to young preschoolers as well as high end elementary students because of the adaptability of the material. These twenty six illustrious books begin with the short background story of the Quirkles, proceed with the featured alphabet character with his knowledge of a particular aspect of science, and ends with two proven science experiments. These books are fun and can stand alone as interesting reading to young minds but to get the most benefit from this curriculum you will want to purchase the Teachers Guide. The Quirkles Teacher Guide provides lesson plans for each Quirkles book including science and literacy objectives, vocabulary builders, questions to consider, assessment opportunities, science process skills and hands on experiements. Strategies for differentiated learning are provided in each lesson as well. Also available is an experiment supply kit and coloring book. The twenty-six Quirkles are all in this Blackline Masters Coloring Book. Very important to this wonderful series of books is that the Quirkles science correlates to the National Science Standards. For more information and how to order the Quirkles go online to www.quirkles.com and discover for yourself the unique colorful design and quality of content contained in these books.
