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.
