ReadWorks and Whole Phonics
Scope & Sequence
Welcome to the ReadWorks and Whole Phonics program where we aim to make the "simple view of reading" come to life!
Level 2: In Our Community
The Level Two partnership between ReadWorks and Whole Phonics focuses on building comprehension as students learn to read. This objective is accomplished through two main goals. The first is to enhance Whole Phonics decodable books by pairing each with curated ReadWorks articles that build background knowledge. The second is to develop sentence-level comprehension through syntax instruction based on both the decodable books and corresponding articles. Fifteen activity sets—one for each Level Two decodable book—address these goals.
