It teaches Reading and History. The History stories are not to short and not to long. They are also interesting and can keep my child's attention thru the entire story and this is no easy feat. After each lesson are questions that help them build their test taking skills and I like that they are multiple choice and a reasonable amount but not so many as to frustrate them. I liked this so much that I also bought the Science one from this company...I would highly recommend this book!!! I have included pictures of a couple random lessons... Review: Wonderful Teaching Material - My daughter has learning disabilities and comprehension is one area we struggle in. I homeschool and have many books for teaching any one concept so that I can reinforce the information learned and not just put information out there just because its a requirement. The layout of this book is great. Vocabulary words that will be referenced in the following story are taught and cover learning the words, but also teaches that one word can have a variety of meanings. The practice of teaching the vocabulary words also helps with fluency in reading and that increases comprehension. The stories told are interesting and informative. The quizzes help to reinforce what was read and delve a little deeper in the meaning of the story and not just the facts. I found this book to be well thought out and my daughters favorite way of learning Social Studies/History. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,038,056 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #16,731 in Children's Science & Nature Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 363 Reviews | ## Images ![Nonfiction Reading Comprehension: Science, Grades 1-2: Science, Grades 1-2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QBH9ZAH6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Teaches History, Reading, Test taking and has very interesting and Informative stories!!! *by B***3 on January 25, 2016* This is a great and valuable book.

I vastly prefer this one. The stories are interesting and each is a page long (~250 words). Each story has 5 multiple choice questions. 3 of the questions typically come directly from the story, ie word for word (eg story includes: "The thick rubbery eggs protect the babies inside." and the question/answer is "Why are shark eggs thick and rubbery?/to protect the babies inside"). The other 2 can require a little more thought: "This story is mainly about...", and an analogy. The set of answers are generally constructed such that most or all of the answers are plausible if you haven't read and understood the story (or happen to know more than a typical child about the topic already). I feel that the difficulty of reading matches the difficulty of the questions well. In contrast, the Hart book stories are ~100 words long. Each story has 4 multiple choice questions. In almost all cases, the questions come directly from the story. Moreover, the questions/answers tend to be answerable without having ever read the story, just from the knowledge a lot of 1st grader already have, which rather defeats the purpose in my opinion. Example: "Polar bears are found in... a) sunny Florida, b) tropical jungles, c) the freezing Arctic, d) the Pacific Ocean". I feel like there is a mismatch between the difficulty of reading and the difficulty of the questions, i.e. the questions would be too easy for almost any child who is capable of reading the text. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/13428517-nonfiction-reading-comprehension-science-grades-1-2-science-grades-1](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/13428517-nonfiction-reading-comprehension-science-grades-1-2-science-grades-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
