More about it:
Books in the One More Story library can be used as mentor texts within the Elementary Integrated
Curriculum, as well as providing an accessible bank of literature for self-selected reading for students in
primary grades. Used in conjunction with 21st Century technologies, including Promethean boards, that
are becoming more widely available in MCPS elementary schools, One More Story can be a powerful
teaching and learning tool. For more information about the books on One More Story go to
