Additional Science Books for Each Unit on High-Interest Topics

Getting Started

FOCUS Books are additional science books on specific, high-interest topics for each Science A-Z instructional unit. The topic of each book helps students focus more deeply on individual concepts presented in the broader unit content. Each unit features multiple FOCUS Books with a mix of reading levels to support differentiated instruction.

FOCUS Books come with reading comprehension assessments and hands-on, inquiry-based science activities for students, plus instructional support for teachers. Students develop a deeper understanding of targeted science and engineering concepts by reading, writing, thinking, and doing.
