WonderWorks: A K–6 Reading Intervention Program
Level Up with WonderWorks
WonderWorks is designed to drive student achievement by connecting focused strategies for intervention with the content of the Wonders core program. Grounded in research, the two programs work together to support students who may benefit from intervention.
WonderWorks helps ensure student access to the same content, skills, strategies, and knowledge building as the core program by offering instructional on-ramps and acceleration. Learners benefit from research-based, data-driven, systematic instruction.
WonderWorks rapidly accelerates students back to grade-level standards and promotes literacy by building foundational skills, fostering student ownership of learning, developing close reading skills, providing differentiated instruction with scaffolded support, and informing instruction through assessment.

These lesson cards scaffold close reading of the Apprentice Leveled Readers and provide support for accessing complex text features, responding to text-dependent questions, and writing about reading. Support small group, "grab and go" reading lessons.
Foundational Skills Kits (Grades 2–3 and 4–6)
The Foundational Skills Kits offers explicit instruction, practice, and assessment of phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and word recognition to remediate identified gaps in skills.
The kit includes Foundational Skills Lesson Cards, Foundational Skills Practice Reproducibles and Foundational Skills Assessments, High-Frequency Word Cards, a Decodable Readers package, Sound-Spelling Cards, Workboards, and many more interactive instructional components.
Foundational Skills Lesson Cards
Mini-lesson cards reinforce foundational skills at grades 2–3 and 4–6; also include skills routine cards for the teacher to provide guidance for lessons. Lessons include explicit corrective feedback options and the addition of student goals, check-ins, and multi-modal learning.
Foundational Skills Practice
Reproducibles that provide meaningful, scaffolded practice activities based on the weekly skills, with a focus on Foundational Skills. Practice pages in grades 2–3 focus on phonemic awareness, phonics, and structural analysis; practice pages in grades 4–6 focus on phonics and structural analysis. Speed drills are included to practice word automaticity.
Foundational Skills Assessment
This book of assessment reproducibles helps teachers monitor student mastery of foundational reading skills. The results of the tests inform subsequent instruction and assist in group and leveling decisions.
Assessment Book
This assessment component helps teachers monitor student mastery of critical reading skills. The results of the tests inform subsequent instruction and assist in group and leveling decisions. Grades K–1 assessments focus on foundational skills. Grades 2–6 assessments focus on comprehension, vocabulary, literary elements, and text features. Exit tests are available every six weeks to assist in deciding when students are ready to exit the WonderWorks program. Fluency assessments are provided for all grades.
