R U There?
R U There?

Reading
Grades 2-4

This groundbreaking transmedia property is much more than sci-fi adventure—it transcends into what we call X-Fi, or Experienced Fiction. The R U There? X-Fi is delivered in an exciting, new multiplatform, participatory format that features:

1. Online gaming
2. Comic books
3. Music Video
4. Card games

The intention of the R U There? adventure is to immerse kids in a world of adventure where learning happens as part of the action, and where their decisions actually affect the environment around them. The curricular focus of R U There? is on the development of reading comprehension skills, the acquisition of vocabulary, and an understanding of word morphology for 8-year-old Title 1 learners. Learning will take place across a variety of media types– all fully integrated into a linear adventure experience in which the player becomes a hero.
