My materials arrived. Now what?

It is time to unbox and take inventory.

It is important to unpack the boxes that arrived and make sure that everything arrived that should have.


Teacher materials are labeled with a sticker that designates which grade level they belong to. If the full curriculum was ordered, each grade level should have:

  • read-aloud guides, including one copy of the read-aloud novel
  • book club guides, including one copy of each of the book club novels
  • 9 genre posters and one set of C.I.A. posters
  • games, sound posters and sound cards for the 3.1 book club
  • Raising the Standards, 2nd edition
  • Assessment and Intervention Guide

Student materials will not be separated by grade level and will need to be dispersed to the correct teachers. If the full curriculum was ordered, each grade level should have:

  • class set of read-aloud novels
  • 4-packs of the book club novels (below, on, above levels), enough for each student to be assigned to one book
  • nonfiction book reports (for the 3.1 book club only)
  • book club notebooks, one per student for each book club
  • book boxes for each unit for your classroom library
Refer to the Product Brochure for specific information about materials for each grade level.
