World Context

It's always encouraging to learn of groups giving back to our communities. If you need a free, high quality online resource during this time of social distancing, Storyline Online is it! The SAG-AFTRA Foundation has produced this free literacy program since 2002.

The supplemental curriculum attached to book will help you determine the world context appropriate for your children.

"Reading aloud to children has been shown to improve reading, writing and communication skills, logical thinking and concentration, and general academic aptitude, as well as inspire a lifelong love of reading."

I appreciate Storyline Online's stated goal of inspiring a lifelong love of reading, but prefer Rowling's way of saying the same thing!

"I will defend the importance of bedtime stories to my last gasp."
J.K.Rowling
