How does it Work by Denise Ryan is a good book to have in the classroom although it is not ideal for young students who are just learning to read. The book does provide detailed photos that correspond to the words on the page, the only problem is that a majority of the words will be foreign to most young students. For older students this book would be good since it provides detailed information about everyday objects, how they work and they different components that make it work. Lastly, the book highlights important words that maybe new to students and that are important to the object the page is talking about. This is a good book to have in the classroom but be weary of using this book with new readers. ( ) This book provides insight on how to operate various items, including modes of transportation, machines, common household objects, and other tools. I liked how each object was introduced with a sentence stating its purpose/what it does. (Ex: "Clocks measure the time in hours, minutes, and seconds"). It does not simply state what the object does, but its purpose for functioning. Each object is labeled and these words are included in the text. This is beneficial for students who are unfamiliar with these words, especially ELL students. There is also a mix of illustrations and pictures of the object in the real world. This opens up opportunities for students to create questions and think critically. After reading this story, students in a guided reading group can ponder other objects and how they work. no reviews | add a review
