Grade fit

Values can sound abstract, so this set keeps them close to home: a beaver’s dam, a market stall, a family game night, a porch with a new book. Levels run K to M, and the level M passages add a science text, a compare-and-contrast piece and a problem-and-solution story for readers ready for more. They are reading passages with questions that let young readers name a value and point to the action that shows it.
