Through rich reading passages and targeted response activities, students are challenged to explore trust, responsibility, and personal growth.

Each worksheet is designed to blend seamlessly into English Language Arts, Social-Emotional Learning, or advisory class routines. No fluff—just relevant stories and purposeful writing.
