Topic sets for first-time readers build literacy skills and SEL intelligence. A balance of nonfiction and fiction titles spans 10 classic themes across six key learning domains (Social and Emotional Development, Creative Expression, Math, Social Studies, Science, and Physical Development). Before-, during-, and after-reading resources strengthen concepts of print, phonemic development, and text-dependent comprehension. Exceptional instructional materials provide specific lesson support for every title, and family engagement components extend learning beyond the classroom!
