The Living World • What Is Alive? • Inspired by Cambridge Early Years

$4.00

An Illustrated Investigation of Life, Language & Numbers

What makes something alive? Can a seed be living before it sprouts? Is a mushroom a plant? And can something move without being alive?

The Living World invites young learners to explore living and nonliving things while developing scientific vocabulary, phonemic awareness, letter recognition, counting, comparison, and early reasoning skills.

Inspired by Cambridge Early Years learning principles and Florida VPK developmental standards, this interdisciplinary workbook encourages children to look closer, ask questions, explain their thinking, and discover that learning begins with curiosity.

Less memorization. More observation, discovery, and independent thinking.

30 Pages | Ages 4–5 | Preschool & Pre-K
Includes: Parent/Teacher Guide + Lesson Plan

VPK Benchmarks and References: IV.F.2.d; IV.F.3.b–d; IV.A–E, IV.F.1/4 and IV.G as applicable. V.A.1; V.A.5.
