This Insects Adapted Book, "A Beetle Is An Insect," brings insects to life with real photos. It focuses on basic reading skills, identifying insects and the basic characteristics of insects. 

A teacher or therapist reads the book, as students follow along, matching a photo and word to each page. This book includes two levels of matching: words with pictures, and just words so that students may work at their level. At the end of the book, students identify mammals and their attributes. After the book has been introduced, students working independently may practice the book in a workstation or literacy center.

Sample Text:

A beetle is an insect.
A grasshopper is too.
A hornet is an insect
that can fly and sting, it's true!
