Treats and Treasures

Set your 3rd grader on a treasure hunt for good character in Treats and Treasures! This reader, complete with 13 stories, 8 poems, and 1 recipe, will introduce your student to classics such as Robert McCloskey’s “Homer Price,” Gertrude Chandler Warner’s “Box Car Children,” and Donald J. Sobol’s “Encyclopedia Brown.” “Dig Deeper” sections challenge your child to find the main idea and the moral of each selection by teaching him concepts such as recognizing a problem/solution and cause/effect, while “Think About It” and “What Do You Think?” sections develop your child’s thinking skills and help him to apply the truths he has learned to real-life situations.
