Read On: Cover-to-Cover is relevant to today’s 4th and 5th graders while building on the style and charm of the past Cover-to-Cover series. Like those series, Read On uses “cliffhangers,” music, and narration to bring stories to life. However, there is a new emphasis on multicultural stories, computer graphics, and other contemporary production techniques.

Program of Studies:
Reading: Forming a Foundation, Interpreting Text, Developing an Initial Understanding, Reflecting and Responding to Text, Demonstrating a Critical Stance
Speaking, Listening, and Observing
