iGrow Readers Curriculum

As part of the iGrow Readers curriculum, the primary teacher first reads a book as a group with a specific health behavior theme. Then, children participate in nutrition and physical activities that relate and reinforce the lessons learned in the book. Informational newsletters highlighting healthy behaviors from the stories' themes are provided to parents. All implementation strategies are reinforced by research to promote positive choices in young children's health behaviors through the use of literature and language strategies and modeling of others in the children's microsystems.
