    The content children learn through read-alouds and activities in the science collections helps prepare them to meet the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

There's Nothing Like It!
Did you know that children’s ability to understand a topic through listening outpaces their comprehension through reading? This is why reading aloud to children is just as important as having children practice reading on their own. As you read to children, they can follow along and gain more knowledge regardless of reading ability — and the earlier, the better!
These curated collections interweave the most engaging and age-appropriate read-alouds with skill-building activities.
Reading aloud to children daily—fiction
and nonfiction that revolve around one topic—increases children’s knowledge base and gives them repeated exposure to related vocabulary.
The thematic collections cover a broad range of topics, such as science, social studies, literature, art, music, and even social themes across grade levels.
Meets Common Core Standards
We know teachers and parents are busy. That’s why we’ve done the work of making sure each collection of books and cross-curricular activities adheres to Common Core State Standards (CCSS) English Language Arts in a fun and accessible way.

Great for Parents and Teachers!
As a parent, it’s hard to find the best books on a topic. As a teacher, it’s hectic to juggle all the demands of your classroom while meeting the requirements of the Common Core. That’s why we’ve thoughtfully developed this program, created these collections, and built School-to-Home Connection Packs and ePacks to meet the needs of both parents and teachers!
