Medicines Old and New

Discover Medicines Old and New, a non-fiction title from Story Seekers Series 3 - short chapter books designed for students with reading difficulties. This book explores the world of traditional, and some more recent, Chinese medicines and inventions. It looks at the Chinese doctor Tu Youyou and her team, who created a drug for malaria. 

The third series of Story Seekers is designed for readers aged 9 to 12 with a current reading level of 7.5 to 8 years old. The topics, like Chinese medicine and Lost Cities, appeal to students' age, while the vocabulary matches their current reading abilities.  

The books improve reading comprehension through an integrated literacy approach. There is a strong focus on linguistic comprehension and phonemic and phonological awareness.
