Our authentic texts help students in key reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language domains. We provide essential practice in skills such as close reading and critical thinking, main idea, cause/effect, text evidence, compare/contrast, making inferences, and paragraph writing.

Nonfiction features focus on curriculum-related science and social studies topics, feature academic and domain-specific vocabulary, and nurture higher-level thinking and analytic reading, writing, and grammar skills.

To help you build important school-to-home connections using Storyworks Jr., we have created Family Letters in both English and Spanish. These letters give parents specific articles from each issue to read with their children and include questions and activities to complete once they’re done reading. You’ll find them here with every issue.
