Program Description

"Wit & Wisdom is a comprehensive Grades K–8 English curriculum developed by and for teachers. Each Wit & Wisdom module centers on the study of rich and engaging texts, curated to build student knowledge of important ideas in the liberal arts and the sciences. The approach is integrated and text-based: daily reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar, and vocabulary study is based on—and draws on evidence from—exceptional texts." According to EdReport’s Science of Reading Snapshot, this program addresses 2/5 foundational literacy components for grades K-2, and 4/5 for grades 3-5.
