Character Powers is a levelled reading series that blends literacy with Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) for students from Grades 1 to 8. Each story features a Character Power, a positive personality trait, paired with an inspiring real-world figure.
As students read, they build vocabulary, strengthen reading skills, and develop the self-awareness to recognize their strengths and appreciate those in others. It’s about literacy, yes, but also identity, empathy, and voice.
Kids need more than academic skills! They need the language to understand who they are and the traits that shape them, like kindness, resilience, curiosity, creativity, and many more.
Character Powers gives students the words, stories, and confidence to celebrate themselves and recognize the strengths in others. These short, high-impact texts spark deep conversations, personal reflection, and meaningful growth. Real learning includes discovering who you are, and who you have the power to become.
