Online literacy program connects 3rd to 5th graders with adult eMentors and great books

Written by Matthew W.

In2Books, a research-based, e-mentoring literacy program, is available for free to all 3rd -5th grades in Title I schools for the 2008-2009 academic year.

Students choose the books from a list compiled by national children’s literature experts and with their eMentors,  read the same books in five different genres (fiction, social studies, biography, traditional tales, and science). Through online letters, the students and their adult pen pals discuss important issues about the five books.
