Mountain Rescue

Mountain Rescue is an expository text that explores how people are rescued from the mountains. The gear that rescue workers use, as well as their rescue dogs, are discussed.

Some photographs are labeled. A visual list is presented that shows readers what tools rescue helicopters have. An index is included.

Interest words include helicopter, mountains, rescue, stretches, helmets, skis, and sleds. Some sentences begin with independent clauses. A drawing activity that asks students to think about other rescue workers and their tools is presented in the Teacher’s Guide Notes.
