Description

We have had many districts ask us what Tier 1 ELA curriculum materials they should invest in that align to the Science of Reading, so we are providing an opportunity to showcase some of those materials.

We will begin by familiarizing your team with Science of Reading along with two tools: The Reading League's Curriculum Evaluation Tool and Colorado's Approved Curriculum List K-3. We will also discuss implementation considerations. After we have dug into this information, you will have the opportunity to see the following materials:

• Core Knowledge Language Arts by Amplify
• EL Education by Open Up Resources 
• Fundations by Wilson
• Open Court by McGraw Hill
• SuperKids by Zaner-Bloser
• Wit & Wisdom and Geodes by Great Minds
• Wonders by McGraw Hill
• Into Literature by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

Some supplemental materials will also be available for browsing

• 95% Group
• Bridge the Gap
• Tools 4 Reading
• And more!

We will have materials up to 6th grade in most cases and up to 8th grade in some cases. You will also be provided with the contact information for representatives for the respective materials. 

NOTE: Please consider bringing a small team of 3-4 people to review materials.
