Lend & Extend Reader's Theater™
(for enhancing parental involvement)

New and exciting for this fall is Playbooks® Lend & Extend Reader's Theater™! Comprising a simple small accessory pack which can be purchased separately or with any Playbook® story or kit, it allows you to split a typical one-story set of six books into three Lend & Extend™ take-home packs.

These packs are designed to be checked out of the classroom or school library by three different students at a time, and returned back to school. You can stock your library with a variety of story sets (each with a Lend & Extend™ Accessory Pack that you can even duplicate on your own) so that more than three students at a time can enjoy the benefits of at-home reading.
