Sample Curriculum
We are trying to bring about 1,000 new classrooms (20,000 students) into our Early Reading Project this year. With this monumental effort, it has been impossible for us to keep up with requests for curriculum samples. So here is a sampling of the curriculum online for you to review.
We have not yet attached any sound files for you to hear the music, which many teachers say is the most important part of the curriculum. Feel free to call 1-888-664-5343 to listen to as much of the music as you would like over the phone.
Besides the sample curriculum available below, you should review the report written by Dr. Bonita Grossen of the University of Oregon. She goes through the curriculum very carefully, showing samples of the curriculum and explaining why the different elements of the curriculum combine to produce such dramatic results.

Below, then, you can access sample curriculum by opening either a series of Powerpoint slides or a PDF file. The Powerpoint file provides superior quality so you can read the small print. To view the Powerpoint file, you need to access the file from a computer that has either the full edition of Powerpoint or the free copy of Powerpoint viewer installed. You can download a free Powerpoint viewer from http://www.microsoft.com.
If you want to read the PDF files, you similarly must access them from a computer with either Adobe Acrobat or the free Acrobat Reader installed. You may have this free program on your computer without even knowing it, or you can download Acrobat Reader free from http://www.adobe.com/.
