Program Components

Student Books

WorldWise: Content-based Learning™ provides students with gradually increasing challenges. 174 titles linked to Grades K–5 Curriculum Standards cover natural, physical, and earth science, as well as social studies topics relevant to each grade level.

WorldWise: Content-based Learning™ texts introduce and revisit themes and concepts across the reading stages and build on initial concepts with increasing complexity.

Lesson Plan Cards

WorldWise: Content-based Learning™ lesson plan cards support teachers in creating an active learning environment, in which all students know how to use content area reading strategies to think within and beyond any given text. Each card identifies the connection to state standards for informational texts as well as to one or more of the science or social studies standards. Educators can easily integrate these other content areas into their literacy block.
