Reading Seeds
Audience: Librarians,

Descriptor and focus:
Great books provide a sound academic
and social
foundation for young, inquisitive minds. Tapping into children's
laughter and wonder, this literature collection builds enthusiasm for
academic skills, character development, and social strength.
Characters, settings, and situations
in selections from the Mockingbird Books,
2007 TLA 2X2 Books, and
the Kids Wings Award Books
will provide a myriad of opportunity for laughter, projects, reading,
writing, science, math, and music while exposing children to other cultures
and developing a deep appreciation of the American traditions.
More than 40 picture books and easy chapter books representing every
genre will become the catalysts for interactive problem solving skills,
laughter, character development, and interdisciplinary foundational
academic skills.
Let them lead your students into
an active, integrated curriculum that is rich in character, reading
and math skills, science, social studies, research, problem solving,
internet projects, and FUN...with the creative test-prep
practice. The Reading Seeds
units contain exciting activities such as crossword puzzles with word
banks, art projects, songs, readers' theater scripts, web-support,
TAKS-formatted comprehension, math challenges, character lessons, logic,
writing guides, and more... all keyed into multiple-intelligences and
TEKS Objectives.
