The Curriculum
Wit & Wisdom is composed of four modules per grade level, and modules are made up of 30 lessons covered in 6-8 weeks of study. Each module artfully explores a specific topic that allows students to develop a deep understanding of that topic while inspiring curiosity in reading, writing, listening, speaking, and language.
Learn MoreBooks Not Basals
With Wit & Wisdom, every text a student touches is authentic and of the highest quality. Students use these texts at every turn — to learn, and eventually master, essential reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar, and vocabulary. Instead of basals, students read books they love to build knowledge of important topics and master literacy skills.
Art of Wit & Wisdom
Just as great literature provides rich content for inquiry and analysis, visual art offers powerful opportunities to build content knowledge. This teacher resource describes how analyzing visual art can boost literacy in all students and includes art lessons, an art glossary, and more.
