Pardon our stardust...
After many, many years in our original online home, the Barksdale Reading Institute is joining forces with WETA/Reading Rockets and First Book to transform Reading Universe into a free, modern, multimedia-rich platform to better support you as you teach children to read and write, no matter their age.
Here’s a sneak peek of Reading Universe 2.0!
Coming Summer 2024!
We’re working hard to launch the new site mid-summer. And we’ll be adding more content through the fall and into 2024. If you’d like a notification when the time comes, please subscribe to our email updates.
Reading Universe is made possible by generous support from Jim & Donna Barksdale, the AFT, the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation, and three anonymous donors.
