Scribe Books

Coming this Spring . . . Saturday hours! 10am - 1pm Saturdays starting April 6. 📖😻

We had a great book launch party for Developmental Texts and Nancy Roop's BIG AQUARIUM ADVENTURE a few weeks ago. Both spiral bound and perfect bound copies of her book are available in the shop :)

About the book:
The Big Adventure Aquarium is the first in the hi-lo series from Alex and Jordan Explore. Its developmental format is real, relatable, and relevant!

Do you know a reader struggling with comprehension?
Do they have a learning disability?
Are they neurodivergent?

This book can help them!
Reading comprehension skills and routines are embedded!
Kids learn to pause and think about what they are reading.
Sensory friendly colors, fonts, and themes are comfortable.

Stephen, a fourth grader, visits the Big Aquarium to look at wild sea animals. He wasn't expecting to see frogs since they live on land. Then, someone asks Stephen to touch another sea animal that he doesn't know, and his body feels so scared that his hands are shaking. What will Stephen do next?

Find out, as his fifth-graders Alex and Jordan explore and write about Stephen’s big adventure! They interview, research, and create a story. Then they finish up with a letter to the reader inviting them to check out the resources in the back of the book including story mountains, questions, and a how-to interview activity.

Note: Although this book features characters who are neurodivergent, it is not mentioned directly. However, illustrations and themes subtly depict a person managing sensory-processing disorder.

Educational features are:
upper elementary school content in science and social studies
vocabulary, connections to reader, prediction, and reflection
social emotional learning and cultural awareness
evidence-based Language Arts resources
Part of the story is told through the amazing art, and the first chapter combines a reading section and art panels like in a graphic novel, on every page. This style makes it fun to read! English Language Learners (or ESL) will love it , too.

It is safe to say that this book is written for and about neurodivergent kids, anyone ready for early chapter books will be drawn to the animal facts and Stephen’s story in The Big Aquarium Adventure.
