About This Textbook

This resource includes two parts: a reader and a course pack.

  • The reader contains nine original stories about healing, discovery, survival, relationships, justice, and connections to the land explored through the lens of the plant world. These stories, written specifically for adults, are roughly equivalent to beginner to grade 1.5 in the K-12 system.
  • The online version of this course pack also contains audio recordings of each story in the reader. These recordings, combined with vocabulary and word pattern exercises, prepare the Level 1 student to read each paragraph-long text with greater independence.

Font size and line spacing can be adjusted in the online view and have been enhanced for the print and PDF versions for easier reading. This reader and course pack have been reviewed by subject experts from colleges and universities.
