First Edition
Where The Story Begins
The spark that turns curiosity into comprehension. Through joyful, story-centered experiences, kids begin building strong literacy habits, expanding vocabulary, deepening understanding, and learning to share their thinking in simple, meaningful ways. Every visit grows confidence, connection, and a genuine love of reading.
Page Turners Edition
Where Curiosity Takes Flight
With more frequent opportunities to read, talk, and create, stories start to stick and skills start to soar. Kids strengthen comprehension, communication, and habits of discussion as reading transforms from something they do into something they own. Each class nurtures confidence, focus, and voice.
Booked & Busy Edition
Where Reading Becomes Their World
Immersion brings independence. Kids experience stories through multiple creative and academic lenses, connecting reading to the wider world. With every discussion, they grow more thoughtful, expressive, and invested in their own learning journey.
Readers to Leaders Edition
Where Stories Shape Leaders
The full transformation. Through consistent engagement and rich dialogue, readers become communicators who are confident, curious, and empathetic. They learn to listen, respond, and lead conversations that stretch their thinking and strengthen their connection to others.
