Lesson Plans

Our lesson plans are designed to actively engage a child's learning. We have provided access to three different types of lesson plans: story, skill sets and differentiated learning. The type of lesson plan and range of learning activities depends upon the type of book.

Our picture books use a story based lesson plan, while specific skill books employ skill based lesson plans, and the Story Cove series is supported by lesson plans that enable a teacher to use differentiated learning. Please check for updates regularly since we are adding new lesson plans as titles are released for young learners.

These lesson plans meet Standards for the English Language Arts sponsored by NCTE and IRA. To review those standards, click on the next to each title.
