Geodes
Reading can open up the world for students. Too often, though, the joys of literature are out of reach until students master key reading skills. Enter Geodes®, the first texts for beginning readers that unite phonics with compelling content and beautiful art. With Geodes, students are inspired to wonder, to decode, and to know.
GEODES - BUILDING KNOWLEDGE ONE CHILD AT A TIME
“I’ve never seen kids with this level of vocabulary, content knowledge
and decoding skills.”
—KATIE E., READING SPECIALIST, CHARLES C. BELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, NC
Diving Deep
Great Minds® and Wilson Language Training collaborated to create Geodes, a new collection of accessible, knowledge-building books for developing readers. Following the scope and sequence of Fundations®, Geodes are Readables, a unique type of text in which specific decoding strategies are coupled with content and vocabulary, resulting in wonderfully rich books for budding readers. While most early literacy books are quite basic, Geodes are rich with facts and ideas that spark students’ curiosity about the world around them.

genius. The students love annotating and highlighting the books as they
read them.”
