Speed Sports

Speed Sports is an expository text that invites readers to learn about speed sports on wheels, in the water, in the air, and on ice and snow.

Illustrations depict content and ideas in the text. Many illustrations are labeled and include captions and a comparison graph shows how fast people in different types of speed sports travel. A table of contents and an index are included.

Words such as spokes, Formula One, and suction, may need clarification. Hyphens appear in motor-racing and free-falling. Possessive apostrophes, such as windsurfer’s board and people’s lives, are used. To conclude, a two-page spread invites readers to learn about the characteristics of a report with supporting examples from the text.
