Try It 6 offers a cautious start before fuller adoption

SHORT SOURCE EXCERPT
“If you still feel a bit skeptical about the storytelling idea, start off with nonfiction.”
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BOOK

Try It 6 begins its Dip Your Toe tier with factual family and science stories. Wade In turns toward animated objects, while Jump In moves to invented monsters and discusses variation in children’s reactions.

The source in context.
