Knowledge-Building Library
What does a seed need to grow? How does a polar bear stay warm? Who keeps a town running? This collection of 218 books gives every student in your class something they can read on every science and social studies topic of the early grades — so the whole class builds the same knowledge and joins the same conversation.
Comprehension grows from knowledge, and knowledge grows from reading book after book on one topic. This library gives a school every Animals, Science, and Social Studies Text Set in one order.
Twelve Text Sets and two hundred eighteen books: all five Animals Text Sets, all four Science Text Sets, and all three Social Studies Text Sets. Because the books range from simple to more challenging, every student — beginning readers and strong readers alike — can read about the same topic and contribute to the same discussion. Reading book after book on one topic builds the vocabulary and background knowledge that make comprehension possible.
