The Motheread/Fatheread® curriculum includes:

The Literacy and Parent Education Teacher's Guide. This guide teaches reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills in a child-and-family-development context.

The Storysharing Handbook. This handbook uses discussion questions and activities to build reading, critical thinking, and problem solving skills of children. For each book in Motheread's Storysharing curriculum, the handbook contains a guide for use by teachers in the classroom, as well as a Storysharing plan for use by parents with the children at home. The take-home parent education plans are also available in Spanish.

Motheread/Fatheread® curriculum responds to the growing diversity in our communities:

The goal of Motheread®Inc. has always been to use in its curriculum excellent children's books that reflect the diversity of our national cultural heritage. Motheread's staff, with the help of nationally recognized experts, has reviewed hundreds of children's books by authors, and about children and adults, from diverse backgrounds. Motheread's inclusion of children's literature from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds provides parents, teachers, and children opportunities to see people like themselves in the stories. At the same time, these stories help readers understand and appreciate stories, people, and traditions from backgrounds other that their own.

Among the newest additions to the curriculum are English-Spanish bilingual lessons for parents and materials for use with children.
