Here are quick answers to the most common questions about Reading Universe:
-
Is Reading Universe a scope and sequence for reading instruction?
Reading Universe is not a scope and sequence or curriculum for reading and writing instruction. Reading Universe presents the essential reading skills, shows how they’re connected, and explains how you can teach each skill to help all of your students learn how to read and write well. Not every child will need to be explicitly taught every skill as presented; however, every teacher should know how to teach each of the skills presented in a systematic, explicit, and sequential way.
