English reading about science and nature

Science reading is not only about learning facts. It also means following a process, understanding what evidence shows and noticing what a report cannot prove. These short lessons keep those distinctions clear.

What you’ll practise

A useful path: Start with an A2 natural process or planting report. Move to B1 explanations and research summaries with clearer evidence limits.
