Student Book

The beautifully illustrated paired selections of stories reflect the integrated model of literacy required by the CCSS and help students to build on the skills developed at the pre-reading stage (decoding stories through images and identifying characters, settings, and main events).

Text Connections

After each paired text selection is a set of three textual connections:

Text-to-Text
Text-to-Self
Text-to-World

These connections help children develop the habit of reading critically and making connections to the world around them.
