“Wonders has long empowered students to take a more active role in learning and exploration, and we are excited to offer this latest update to the trusted program,” said Sean Ryan, president of McGraw Hill’s School group. “The 2023 edition ensures the continuation of high-quality, consistent and effective literacy instruction aligned to the science of reading. Students will encounter the right content at the right moment in their learning journey, promoting stronger educational outcomes.”

Across independent studies, third-party evaluations and testimonials from a range of customers, Wonders has been proven again and again to contribute to student success. A recent review from EdReports.org rated the program highly in each of its three pillars: Text Quality and Complexity, Building Knowledge, and Usability. Additionally, independent studies from the Journal of Organizational and Educational Leaders and from the Champaign (IL) Community Schools demonstrated significant learning gains for students using Wonders.

“I am proud to have worked with the terrific team of authors and the development team at McGraw Hill to create the Wonders K–5 English Language Arts curriculum,” said program author Dr. Jan Hasbrouck. “As our knowledge of scientific evidence continues to advance and the teachers and specialists who use our program provide us with their experiences, we use that information to improve every aspect of the Wonders Curriculum. The 2023 edition is our best yet!”
