The Time for Kids Nonfiction Readers are wonderful. We couldn’t have picked a better series of books to go with. The books are motivating for all students and are perfect for guided reading. The photographs are wonderful. They are also very easy to coordinate with the Common Core standards. I have used them in grades 1 – 5 and couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. Students were so engaged in what they were reading and could carry on rich discussions. I can’t wait to use them throughout the school year.

It has been my experience that once students are taught how to read non-fiction pieces, they fall in love with the genre and cannot get enough of it…Time for Kids Nonfiction Readers have been my hook, line, and sinker for getting my students interested in reading non-fiction. The materials are colorful, well written, and reader friendly. They cover many different topics and are easily integrated into the curriculum in all subject areas. Use of these Teacher Created Materials resources has made a tremendous impact on student achievement in my classroom. From scores on weekly comprehension tests to high stakes testing outcomes I have seen an amazing increase in scores.

My students loved the articles… I felt like writing finally made sense to them… I also love that the language standards are incorporated and integrated with writing.
