Wonders, a McGraw-Hill Education product, is designed to help students meet high academic standards and prepare them for future success. Teachers will use Wonders to help your child:
Master foundational skills of phonics, vocabulary, spelling, and word study
Engage in close reading of complex text and find text evidence
Take part in daily academic conversations with peers
Develop the love of reading through engaging literature and student choice
In class, your child will be close reading, writing analytically, and practicing foundational skills using Wonders books and support materials.
Your child’s teacher will use a gradual release of responsibility learning approach. First, the teacher will clearly explain and model the skills and strategies, then provide guided practice opportunities before prompting children to either work independently or to collaborate with their classmates.
