Flight

Do you know any kids who are fascinated by airplanes, spaceships, hot air balloons, and other fantastic flying machines? We've gathered up a great collection of books, activities, apps, and websites for learning all about flight.

Try pairing fiction with nonfiction books and exploring different genres [6] (like poetry and biographies) and formats (like graphic novels and audio books). You'll be creating your own "text sets" — collections of texts focused on a specific topic, such as flight. Reading widely in this way helps children build background knowledge [7], vocabulary [8], and comprehension skills.

You might also want to explore our Space Rangers [9] summer science program [10], with a free toolkit ready to print and use!
