The Original (2019) – Digital Download

Inspire kindness, confidence, and curiosity through character-based reading.

The Original Character Powers set introduced students to the idea that everyone has unique strengths worth celebrating. This first collection blends literacy with social-emotional learning through 21 short, high-interest biographies featuring inspirational figures such as Michael Jordan, Terry Fox, Viola Desmond, Serena Williams, and Dwayne Johnson.

Each story pairs a real-world person with a Character Power — a positive personality trait that encourages readers to reflect, connect, and grow. Students build comprehension, vocabulary, and self-awareness while developing the language to describe the strengths they see in themselves and others.
