Grade 4/Level D Reading
🌪️ Weather Gone Wild (1674)
Hurricanes the size of continents. Tornadoes that move at 300 km/h. Heat domes that bake entire cities. Grade 4 readers dive deep into the science of extreme weather — how it forms, why it's getting more intense, and how scientists track and predict the storms that shape our world. Gripping, accurate, and deeply relevant.
