STORYLANDS books build student vocabulary with themed sets of books on high-interest topics. Each land has its own content-area vocabulary. By reading a number of books on the same theme, students learn new concepts and vocabulary, and a rich vocabulary is directly linked to improved learning outcomes across the curriculum.
2 Develops comprehension skills
STORYLANDS improves student comprehension with focused multilevel questions in every title. These head, heart and hidden questions build skills in fact finding, inference, predicting and making connections.
