About Schoolwide
Not every district needs a boxed curriculum. You might need targeted grammar support for multilingual learners, summer materials that families will actually use, or units that strengthen what’s already working.
Schoolwide provides K–8 literacy resources built around engaging, authentic texts and research-based instruction. Every product is designed to plug into your existing program or stand on its own, so you can choose what fits your priorities, your teachers, and your students.
Five Ways Districts Partner with Schoolwide
1. Modular ELA/Literacy Units
Reading, Writing & Grammar Units for Grades K–8
Flexible instructional units built around mentor texts and quality literature, not scripts.

Use them as part of your core literacy block or as targeted supplements to strengthen specific areas of instruction.
Built for districts that:
- Want coherence without rigidity
- Trust teacher expertise and professional judgment
- Are curating their own instructional ecosystem rather than buying a box
What’s included: Mentor texts, short shared texts, interactive read-aloud lessons, mini-lessons, assessment tools, and digital appendices—ready to teach.
2. Summer Literacy Kits
Take-Home Learning for Grades K–2
Curated summer book bags that give students meaningful literacy practice at home. Each kit includes a decodable text, two culturally diverse trade books, a student activity booklet, and flashcards—packaged in a drawstring bag that’s ready to send home.

- In-class coaching and modeling
- Administrator walkthroughs
- Multi-day literacy institutes
Built for districts that:

Start with PD. Add products when you’re ready.
Start Where You Need. Grow When You’re Ready
Some districts adopt modular units across all grades. Others start with summer kits or grammar workbooks for their MLL population. And, many departments begin with professional development and layer in materials once teachers see what’s possible.
Wherever you are in your ELA planning, we can help you find what will work for your current needs.
