IB Primary Years Programme
Inquiry-based and internationally focused books designed to capture the imagination of PYP children all over the world
The PYP Agents series is designed to support inquiring minds through the use of high-interest, short chapter books that:
- support the transdisciplinary themes and the formation of different approaches to learning skills
- help students to make connections between the books and their own experiences (text-to-self connections)
- build students’ decoding and visualization skills and text-to-text connections skills
- develop content knowledge and comprehension
- support self-directed learning and engagement
- help children to transition from picture books and levelled readers to longer texts.

What teachers say
The books are engaging, colourful, well-organized, and could be used for multiple grades for different inquiries. They can be used throughout the cycle of inquiry – for provocations, for independent research, for specific inquirers, for vocabulary, for reading groups, and for experiments.
A great non-fiction resource with eyecatching illustrations and fun facts suitable from Grade 2 upwards. The books work well for independent or group research, group reading sessions or book study. The questions inside are great discussion starters.
This is a well-thought-out and versatile series of books connected to the PYP Units of Inquiry. I like that humor was added for fun but also to be considered a teaching tool. I also LOVE that the worksheets are fully editable. This is a HUGE plus of the materials.
