Works With Any Summer Theme
The Story Builders Club is designed to complement—not compete with—your existing program theme.
Using CSLP's "Unearth a Story"?
Your teams are "unearthing" habitat pieces to build the forest village. Dinosaur-themed reading challenges fit right in.
Using iREAD's "Plant a Seed, Read"?
You're literally planting and growing the Storybook Habitat! The nature theme aligns perfectly.
