ReadtopiaGO Early Literacy Curriculum:
Providing Access to Reading and Writing Instruction for
Young Learners with Complex Profiles

Educators working with young learners are the gateway to establishing a strong foundation for literacy learning and a love of learning. They are also often the first to identify learning challenges or provide alternative access to learning for learners with complex bodies.

ReadtopiaGO, provides educators with a comprehensive, research-based early literacy curriculum for emergent readers in Pre-K through grade 2+ with complex learning needs. Backed by the science of teaching reading, ReadtopiaGO is the key to delivering engaging, differentiated instruction that puts young learners on the path to conventional literacy success.

Read What Educators Are Saying

“I think ReadtopiaGO has been a game changer in what I've seen for our educators to be able to have materials ready, age-respectful materials that are evidence-based, get the units that they are enjoying and the kids are connecting with and loving. It's been fun to watch our learners just progress and their vocabulary develop and use their augmentative communication systems to really just blossom in their ability to let us know what they're thinking, what their opinions are.”

Jan Piling, SLP

Brandon School

"Because of how Readtopia, ReadtopiaGO, Monarch and all of the resources and instructional materials align, I was able to show my Administration that my students CAN read! Everyone in our program loves Readtopia and ReadtopiaGo!"

Jessica Gerth, SLP

Belleville Area Special Services

"The use of the cycles keeps the class on track and we have witnessed our paraprofessionals being able to assist in many different capacities as they watch the teacher and learn the lessons, too. The paraprofessionals can then take the scripted lessons and work one on one with the students who need more time."

Barbara Stuckey, Educator

Sara's Garden/New Horizons Academy

"ReadtopiaGO has given me all the content in one place, saving hours and hours of planning and allowing me to focus on the actual learning routines and making them meaningful for each student. This curriculum is leveling the playing field for our students with the greatest need and giving educators the tools to be successful. "

Amy Devin, ASD Educator

Royal Oak PS

"ReadtopiaGO has increased my students' engagement with their colorful and exciting stories. My K-1 students have shown growth in the areas of phonemic awareness, language and vocabulary acquisition and reading readiness skills. The units are easy to follow with clear directions for teachers. I love the inclusion of AAC devices without having to modify them on my own. It is an inclusive curriculum that takes a lot of the behind the scenes work off the teachers’ plate."

Amy Incandela, Special Education Educator

Oswego CUSD 308 IL

“One Elementary Special Education Teacher has created individual student packets from Learning Letters and Making Words that support the paraprofessionals re-teaching and engaging students in literacy throughout their day. The teacher shared how thankful she is to have the resources from ReadtopiaGo.”

Michelle Kelley-Davies, Special Education Coordinator

"We've seen incredible growth in our students' literacy skills thanks to Readtopia and ReadoptiaGO! The materials capture our student's attention, build their literacy confidence, and have made learning to read an exciting adventure!"
