Knowledge about the world fuels a child’s reading comprehension and critical thinking. We share stories from schools that use “knowledge-building” curricula from the earliest grades to inspiring effect.

History Matters Campaign
It’s time to start talking about elementary history instruction. Our new History Matters Campaign provides us with the opportunity to demonstrate how historical content knowledge is uniquely positioned to support literacy.
“Unsung Heroes” Webinar Series
Hosted by Kristen McQuillan, StandardsWork Chief Program Officer, each episode of Unsung Heroes goes deep on a reading comprehension hero that is hidden in plain sight, with expert guests from inside and outside the classroom.
With their signature charm and straight talk, David and Meredith take on an urgent problem in American schools today—kids not understanding what they read—and how reading comprehension can be taught more effectively.
