Open Court Reading - Comprehensive Curriculum

Grades K-5

Purposeful Teaching That Ensures Learning

With systematic and explicit instruction at its core, Open Court Reading makes learning expectations clear and provides the instruction and tools for all students to achieve them. Using a logical progression of skills and built-in scaffolding, skills are constantly revisited, practiced, and applied in the program’s spiral curriculum.

In each unit, students experience a variety of fiction and non-fiction selections, essays, poems, songs, and articles carefully selected to challenge, inspire, and meet individual student’s curiosities and wonders about their world.

You also get the best of blended learning with content and resources available both digitally and in print.
