Does such a thing exist? For example, literature with 'kosher' stories, readers and workbooks with Jewish names etc? If so, where to find it? Thanks!

I've been doing curriculum development for a few years and actually just researched readers and anthologies this year looking for the same thing. From what I've found, there's no 100% 'kosher' reader. I've gone through many readers and let teachers know which stories to skip. The one reader that comes closest to 'kosher' is Mosdos Press. I know a few yeshivos that use only Mosdos Press. I've also heard other professionals argue that Mosdos Press isn't academic enough.

Pretty sure that Artscroll has clean lit books available.

Google Artscroll Implications of Literature.

I think satmar have a whole series of readers, curriculums etc that are 100% kosher. I forgot the company, maybe date palm, or palm tree or something like that.

I use the TextWord Press literature books. They are quite good, although with Common Core Standards now, they don't always align.

Thank you so much! I'll look into all of these. It's not that important to be on standard or academic.
What about math books? That'll be harder I assume...

I think satmar may have math books too--or working on it.

Just wondering... what can be wrong with math that you would need a 'Jewish' math book? I can understand Literature, for example.

I believe their level is probably not the level that she is referring to.

Gan Yisroel or lubavich has that type of idea.

Well not the math itself but the pictures should be with yarmulkes and the examples use Jewish names for example...

Okay then. The book I mentioned upthread is not compromised of Jewish stories.
