New Books! 

Teaching with ReadtopiaGO? You may have noticed that Collections 3 and 4 of Year 2 are now available! Check out the newest engaging topics that accompany the four over-arching themes you are already familiar with: Learning About Me, Learning About Science, Learning About Life, and Learning About Social Studies.

What do we love about the new topics and their books? 

As always, the team at Building Wings has done an incredible job creating beautiful, engaging books, containing both gorgeous artwork and breath-taking photos. We think there is a wonderful mix of fun and serious stories to support the many important topics.  

For example, share the books, Grow Your Brain and A Brain Break for Elena to help young learners understand the importance of self-care for developing grit and resilience. 

In the Life Cycles theme, children will learn that every plant begins life the same way, through the beautiful topic, Seed to Plant. The illustrations in One Small Seed have a unique, dream-like quality that will captivate young readers and educators alike! 

In the book, The Givers of the World, children read about all the amazing gifts we receive from trees! Get lost in the forest as you explore these stunning photos of all the ways we benefit from trees. 

We continue to appreciate the careful and deliberate choices Building Wings make around illustrations and photos. We think it will make you and your students smile to see and likely recognize themselves in the many different people looking out from the pages.
