On this page, we’ve included links to the Feature Stories from all the issues of Beyond Weather and the Water Cycle. Versions of the texts are available at the K-2 and 3-5 grade bands. The Flesch-Kincaid reading level of each version is provided following the text. Each version is available as a text document and a full-color illustrated book (downloadable PDF documents) that you can print, copy, and use with your students as well as an electronic book with recorded narration. The two reading levels can help you differentiate instruction for your students.
