Better Together!
With the Superkids Reading Program and the Read Side by Side Reading Program, students easily transition from learning to read, to read to learn.
- Crosswalk between the two programs; and
- Case study of a Superkids & Read Side by Side school.
When I observe lessons in the second and third grade classrooms, I hear common language being used despite the fact that they are using different programs. Students are identifying story elements, talking about the author's message, and referring to evidence from the texts in both programs.
We are very happy with both programs and find the transition from 2nd to 3rd grade to be very natural. Students continue the work of reading chapter books and meeting in book clubs as they enter 3rd grade. Our students love reading!

Superkids Book Clubs
In 2nd grade, students read authentic chapter books and magazines during a book club time. A range of levels allows teachers to differentiate instruction. Learn more!

Products for 2nd Grade
Read Side by Side offers some products for 2nd grade. Reading kits for read-aloud or book clubs introduce the CIA approach to 2nd graders.
