Everyday Literacy for Grades K–6 is a nonfiction and informational text program that provides students with everyday reasons to read. Each grade-level set is comprised of a real-world theme, and each component connects students to informational texts based on that theme. Everyday Literacy gives students the opportunity to develop the skills they need to locate information, analyze and interpret that information, and distinguish fact from fiction.

Each Grade-Level Set includes:

  • 10 Different "Real-World" Texts (25 Copies of each*; 250 texts total)
  • 10 Teaching Cards
  • 1 Professional Guide
  • Interactive Whiteboard CD-ROM (with 30 instructional activities)
  • Storage Bins

*Everyday Texts are not consumables. Most texts are printed on Tyvek© which is tear, puncture and moisture resistant and 100% recyclable.

When students connect the dots to their everyday life, their interest increases–and so does their reading success. The Everyday Literacy Components Include:
