Reading Across MyPyramid is a new curriculum based on MyPyramid:Steps to a Healthier You. MyPyramid is a revamped, current version of the old Food Guide Pyramid and if you have not checked it out, go to the MyPyramid website today!

Everyone at our office is extremely excited about the new Reading Across MyPyramid curriculum. Targeted toward grades K-3, these lesson plans are designed to drum up excitement and increase students' knowledge about nutrition and health.

From learning the basics of MyPyramid to understanding the importance of sitting down for a meal, students will enjoy learning about the many aspects of nutrition. Every topic is accompanied by multiple storybook suggestions that provide the framework for the lesson. For a list of the storybook selections, click here.

Also, since we know how busy teachers are, all curriculum pieces contain concise background information on the topic, easy-to-prepare activities and a snack idea to complement the lesson. In addition, each lesson in Reading Across MyPyramid is correlated to California Content Standards.
