Curriculum Guides



Christina Moorehead showed super skills in creating the curriculum connections for using CAPE, MASK, and BOOTS in the classroom. Check out her clever and fun "League of Secret Heroes" teacher's guides by clicking on the covers. And if your students create their own superheroes or spotlight superheroes in their lives, please share their videos with me!

Bonnets off to Anne Bond, who created some remarkable teacher’s guides to using THE DETECTIVE'S ASSISTANT in the classroom! Anne’s work was presented at an education research symposium at Loyola University-Chicago in spring 2016. With her permission, I am sharing links to the guides at the Illinois READS homepage. Thank you, Anne!
