Understanding light and color might seem impossible, but if readers already know the colors of the rainbow, they're part of the way there. Including the light spectrum, wavelengths, and other key concepts, this book tackles light and color for those falling behind in class because of their reading skills. The main text is written with these struggling readers in mind, accompanied by full-color photographs and diagrams to aid understanding. An extended glossary introduces and explains all the vocabulary readers need to continue learning about light and color.

This book unfolds as a series of observations about light, including where it comes from, how it bounces off of people and objects, and what we mean when we say the colors of a rainbow are the colors in light. Throughout the text, informal experiments prompt young scientists to learn by doing, and impressionistic drawings bring the mysteries of light and color to life. By the book’s end, students will have a useful foundation for middle school and beyond, when they’ll learn about energy, wavelengths, and the electromagnetic spectrum.Light and Color is part of the I Wonder Why book series, written to ignite the curiosity of children in grades K–6 while encouraging them to become avid readers.
