More DescriptionThe Big Aquarium Adventure is the first in the series from Alex and Jordan Explores and is an early chapter book with 3000 words and amazing full-color art! Developmental format created with struggling readers in mind-ESL, too. Reading comprehension skills and routines are embedded. Kids learn to pause and think about what they are reading. It's sensory-friendly-colors, fonts, and themes for neurodivergent learners. Upper elementary school content in science and social studies. It's informational fiction like The Magic School bus-minus the magic! 5th graders Alex & Jordan, explore Stephen's visit to The Big Aquarium with an interview and research. Alex questions Stephen about marine life, and how frogs helped him handle a very upsetting event. Jordan creates a nonfiction report with animals' size, habitat, and life cycles. Then together, Alex and Jordan write the story titled, Stephen's visit to the Aquarium. Alex and Jordan finish up with a letter to the reader explaining the educational resources and website links in the backmatter. Note: Although this book features characters who are neurodivergent, the story is not about that, nor mentioned specifically. However, illustrations and themes subtly depict sensory-processing disorder. It is safe to say that this book is written for, and about, neurodivergent readers, but it is not only for neurodivergent readers. Anyone ready for early chapter books will be drawn to the animal facts and Stephen's story in The Big Aquarium Adventure.
