Our book lists for each grade aren’t just chosen for their literary quality. They also are selected for their ability to connect with students on multiple levels—emotionally, intellectually, and socially.

Explore 1st Grade, Unit 2 Literary Works

In our RedThread Knowledge curriculum, first graders explore the yearlong theme, “Making a Difference,” through multicultural books, such as What Do You Do with a Problem?, Every Dog in the Neighborhood, and Maybe Something Beautiful. Each is read aloud or independently, connecting students to diverse stories and topics that inspire empathy, creativity, and community involvement.
