Knowledge-Building Library (6-Packs)
What does a seed need to grow? How does a polar bear stay warm? Who keeps a town running? This collection of 218 books, 6 copies of each, gives every small group in your class something they can read together on every science and social studies topic of the early grades — so the whole class builds the same knowledge and joins the same conversation.
Essential questionHow do we build the knowledge that makes reading make sense?
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.
