Mentor Text Alert: An Egg is Quiet

Time! Never enough, right? I find myself working hard to focus on cross-curricular units, read alouds, lessons, anything to tie Science and Social Studies into every other subject because there just isn't enough time in the day.

Mentor texts are the easiest way to do this! Read alouds are research-based for fostering a love of learning, developing vocabulary, increasing comprehension, and exposing kids to new topics, as well as developing a strong classroom community, of course. So, why not tie in your Science and Social Studies content while you're at it? Sneaky, but it works!

An Egg is Quiet is just one example of a book that touches on life cycles, camouflage, adaptations, and more through a beautifully illustrated picture book. Kids will love listening to the story, but they will read it again and again and again as well, soaking up all of that juicy Science content. Check it some snippets below!

Happy reading!
