Patterns in the Garden introduces emergent readers to patterns in gardens, such as rows of plants, spiderwebs, and flower petal arrangements, while providing them with a supportive first nonfiction reading experience. Carefully crafted text uses high-frequency words, repetitive sentence patterns, and strong visual references to support emergent readers, making sure they aren't facing too many challenges at once. Patterns in the Garden includes tools for teachers and caregivers, as well as introductory nonfiction features such as labels, a table of contents, words to know, an index, and a Let's Review question and photo. Patterns in the Garden is part of Jump 's Patterns in Nature series.
