Wit & Wisdom is a comprehensive Grades K–8 English curriculum. The approach is integrated and text-based: daily reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar, and vocabulary study is based on—and draws on evidence from—exceptional texts. By reading books they love and engaging meaningfully in their learning, students develop the knowledge and skills they need to be successful readers, critical thinkers, and effective communicators who love to learn and can succeed in college and careers.

Every Wit & Wisdom text students encounter is authentic and of the highest quality. Students will read books  they love to build knowledge of important topics and master literacy skills. The texts are wide-ranging and varied, including a careful balance of literary, informational, and fine-art texts.

Every module, or unit of study, in each grade focuses on a topic essential for building background knowledge, vocabulary, and writing skills. Essential topics strategically reoccur, empowering students to deepen understanding of core knowledge across Grades K–8.

Students practice reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language in an integrated way, with every strand of the standards woven throughout each module. This integrated approach enables students to be more successful as they activate and build on their developing background and vocabulary knowledge of the module topic while learning skills in other areas.
