Student Edition
Our Student Editions are workbooks that support student engagement and instruction with graphic organizers, evidence organizers, and other student materials.
Core Texts
Instead of basals or leveled readers, Wit & Wisdom students read authentic, high-quality, complex texts to build enduring knowledge of the world around them. To meet the qualifications for this collection, the texts must aid social and emotional development, allowing students to see themselves and others in each lesson.
Volume of Reading
Volume of Reading texts are literary and informational texts that teachers can use for additional classroom instruction. Wit & Wisdom Volume of Reading texts help students of all abilities expand their knowledge of each module topic.
