The StoryBook Treasures Experience
Storybook Treasures is a supplemental reading program that can help you accomplish two goals: first, to inspire confidence and love of reading in students, and second, to help parents build their home libraries and support their children in learning how to read. Research suggests when parents and teachers prioritize reading, children will be more likely to succeed academically, to exhibit higher levels of self-confidence, and to actively engage in learning experiences.
What exactly is StoryBook Treasures?
StoryBook Treasures (SBT) is a PK - 3rd grade school-based supplementary literacy program that builds confidence and a love of reading in all students. Every student in the classroom receives five books (for keeps!) to build their at-home library, a correspondingtoy/treasure with each book, a tote bag and a t-shirt. Teachers enjoy well-curated lesson plans and student workbooks, and importantly, parents are provided with scaffolding and support (available in English and Spanish) to help them connect with their child through reading.
How does SBT align with the Science of Reading?
Unlike many other reading experiences, StoryBook Treasures focuses on the "top of the rope", language development. The classic stories shared in a read-aloud experience deepen background knowledge, model language structures, teach new vocabulary, and strengthen literacy knowledge. Students learn and reinforce skills while experiencing the joy of hearing fluent, skilled reading, and engaging in purposeful conversations.
