Reading Level: 4.0
Book Level/ Guided Reading Level: Q
I Love Bugs is an Informational Text book for children that provides fascinating facts and detailed illustrations on a variety of bugs that children are apt for encounter frequently in their surroundings.
This book would understandably be an ideal read aloud for any level of elementary grade during a science unit on insects, or even more specifically, the life cycle of butterflies. On an individual basis, this would be a great book for a teacher to recommend to a student who shows a high amount of interest in bugs for independent reading. Additionally, this text would also be a good mentor text to demonstrate the writing traits of conventions, organization, ideas and presentation (I particularly like how the author draws arrows to point to a particular aspect of the illustration to exemplify the text), for students during writing workshop mini lessons.
