The science of reading makes clear that early childhood learners need texts where they can repeatedly practice applying their decoding skills from their phonics lessons, which is a gap in the ReadWorks library as well as a current need in the greater marketplace. Using the topics in their Article-A-Day Scope & Sequence, ReadWorks will launch new diverse and rich decodable texts for beginning readers to practice decoding while also building knowledge in a cohesive, structured manner. Each new decodable text will be hand-curated with existing listening-level texts in their library. ReadWorks is on the cutting-edge of the science of reading by bringing together the two critical pieces of learning to read – word recognition and language comprehension – into one easy package for teachers to use to supplement their phonics curricula. ReadWorks seeks to improve teacher effectiveness and raise student achievement in reading comprehension through research-based, classroom-proven instructional practices and curricula, and through free, open-access online technology.
