Theme Exploration introduces the daily content focus through the Daily Message. Students explore thematic concepts through books, background videos, vocabulary, and other interactive activities.

STAR Story Activities engage children in wonderful, age-appropriate literature as they make predictions, recall events, and learn new, theme-related vocabulary. The children retell and act out the story and learn story elements through high-level questions.

Rhyme Time promotes phonological and phonemic awareness and supports theme-related vocabulary through rhymes, songs, and games.
