Q. What
is the new Choose Your Own Adventure?
A. Choose Your Own Adventure is now a supplemental
educational program with supportive teaching materials aimed at improving
reading,
writing,
and thinking skills for students in grades 4–8.
Fully revised and updated with R. A. Montgomery, the original
series author, these dynamic books make each reader the main character
and "star", whose choices determine the outcome of the story. As students
become active, central characters in these adventure-filled plots, they
sharpen both their analytical and critical thinking skills. Even the most
reluctant readers will be captivated and become engaged in thinking, learning,
and choosing.

use the program in your classroom?

readers think beyond literal comprehension to make connections, use information
to make decisions, understand consequences, and evaluate characters and
their motivations.
