Every What Would YOU Do? booklet contains an exciting short story.
At three key points in the story, readers are:
- asked to make a decision for the main character
- shown the consequences of their choices -- good and bad
- given a chance to reconsider
- guided toward a positive outcome!
Full of action and easy to read, What Would YOU Do? booklets present research-based information in a way that keeps readers engaged, learning, and interested in finding out what happens next!
Educators say, "This is how information needs to be shared!"
Developed with input from educators and students, What Would YOU Do? booklets:
- teach readers about peer pressure, and encourage them to think for themselves
- let readers make mistakes, reflect on poor choices, and consider a different path
- give readers ownership of the story's outcome, and help make research-based information stick!
