Early science makes more sense to a four-year-old through sorting, matching and drawing than through explanation, and this 80-page workbook takes that route.
Tasks introduce the body, plants, animals, weather, everyday materials and simple machines at a level a nursery or reception child can handle, using pictures to pose the question rather than paragraphs of text. Children circle, colour, match and trace their way through each topic, and the repetition across pages helps first vocabulary settle. The instructions stay short enough for an adult to read aloud without rephrasing.
Strengths of this title:
• Picture-led tasks on plants, animals, weather and the body
• Circling, matching and colouring instead of written answers
• Short instructions that adults can read aloud
• 80 pages pitched at children aged four and five
