“Water, you're a part of every living thing.“

This can be used to introduce a lesson about water or the states of matter. The book does explain in simple terms what the different states of matter are and examples of them. The book seems to be meant for 5- 8 year olds.

This is a simple, easy-to-follow nonfiction book. Each page has only five or so words on it. It is nonfiction because the book provides examples of the different forms that water could be in. And, it talks about how to conserve water.

“Water, even when you try to fool me, I know you.
You blast and huff.
Whistle and puff.
Steam.“

This is a simple read that provides illustrations while discussing the different ways water exists in our world. I think this would fit very well in a Kindergarten to 4th grade classroom. This could be included in a curriculum to introduce water to students and how it is not as simple as it seems, even transitioning into the water cycle.

This is a quick and simple book about water and how it exists all around us. The author provides fun illustrations that demonstrate how water can be a large mass, like the ocean, or exist as a tear. It explores the different states of matter, with water being a gas (steam and clouds) and water being a solid (ice cube/ iceberg).

Looking for a quick read with charming illustrations to lead into the water cycle? Try the NF picture book, “Hey, Water“. Follow a little girl as she seeks and finds water all over in her home, outside, and in the weather. Antoinette Portis book is a 2019 Sibert, Charlotte Zolotow, Geisel, award winner. This could be used as a RA or PR in the classroom. #ucflae3414su20

Mazzole18 The ESOL strategy 4 can be used to link the lesson topic to students‘ prior knowledge. Facilitate managing information and resources URL 6.3 and activate or supply background knowledge URL 3.1 can be used to help student identify what they know about water before starting a lesson on the water cycle.

Mazzole18 GenerationGenius has interactive science videos that would be great for helping teach the water cycle https://www.generationgenius.com/videolessons/water-cycle-video-for-kids/ or if you‘re looking for some younger grade activities try https://www.themeasuredmom.com/water-math-science-activities-for-kids-ages-3-6/ 4y

JessicaO Hi nick! I really like that you found a non-fiction book as interesting as this! I think that students will be excited about hearing this book because they can activate their prior knowledge of the topic! Great choice and I will give it a read :) 4y

DrSpalding This would be realistic fiction however I can see how the genre could be blurred a bit with the factual information about water. This is another book that can be easily incorporated into your science curriculum. 4y

So I happened to grab a Popsicle out of my freezer between books. This fits perfectly for this prompt.
I loved this book. It is super simple for those early readers, and had more content for those more advanced readers.

“Hey, Water!” NF book by Antoinette Portis has won the Robert F. Sibert Honor for this year 2020! This is a great informational book about water and the many features of water. This is a great SR, IR, and GR book for students to practice with their reading and comprehension skills.

carolinem ESOL strategy 11 which is putting meaningful language into context is most appropriate for this book. UDL principles 5.1 which is using multiple uses of media with the YouTube video and other sources that could be helpful with this book! 5y

Ashley_B Great ESOL strategy, it aligns well with this book. I also like the YouTube video you provided! 5y

SequoiaC123 I really like children‘s informational text because the author and illustrator usually put a fun twist on it. This would be a great book to read aloud and then segue to the water cycle! Definitely thinking about adding this to my library! 5y
