We should not teach literacy so that it is a minimal or one-dimensional experience. We can communicate a deeper essence for reading and learning than that. Students and other readers continue to use these multimodal literacy skills for the rest of their lives. We seek to present history in a manner that elicits understanding, appreciation, and further curiosity.
Each body of academic standards addresses understanding essential contributions and processes in student learning. WBP graphic works are aligned to these bodies of standards and their uses to teachers. Use of the standards never precludes an engaging story. On the contrary, they can help to focus essential parts of the story for the reader.
With biographical candidates from a variety of fields and disciplines over time, the connection to student learning and teaching is purposefully strong. The academic subjects we connect to include social studies and history, civics, science and mathematics, fine arts, literature, and foreign language instruction.
In today's world, a diverse range of literacies is essential for effective learning across various fields. Being able to interpret and understand information from multiple sources is crucial. Graphic arts and design are deeply integrated into our educational and social experiences.
Our literature collections aim to both educate and entertain. While the primary focus is on K-12 audiences, these works can be adapted for use in both public and private settings. Different illustration styles will be available for younger and older readers.
As scripts and content are developed through thorough research, a clear framework aligning the content with educational standards will be established. This framework will guide the structure of these works, making them accessible for teachers and other interested parties. We will follow guidelines from professional academic organizations such as the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) and the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), among others.
Intended settings for these works extend beyond schools to include libraries, waiting rooms, and various venues such as Scholastic Books and Perma-bound.
We are also developing electronic content alongside traditional forms to cater to the growing number of online readers, ensuring that our offerings are accessible and engaging in all formats.
