Reading Universe is an online, step-by-step pathway for teachers, paraprofessionals, and reading coaches to learn more about evidence-based reading instruction and then translate it into classroom practice that will complement any curriculum. Reading Universe is a new service of WETA/Reading Rockets, the Barksdale Reading Institute (BRI), and First Book. We are deeply grounded in the remarkable story of BRI, founded in 2000 by Jim Barksdale to advance literacy in his home state of Mississippi. Historically ranked at or near the bottom in terms of reading achievement, Mississippi’s rankings have improved dramatically over the last decade; and the state has made more progress in its reading scores than any other. Reading Universe shares with educators everywhere the teaching practices that Mississippi developed so painstakingly…so that each of us can do what it takes to ensure that more children become skilled and joyful young readers. www.ReadingUniverse.org.
Reading Universe is made possible by generous support from Jim & Donna Barksdale, the American Federation of Teachers, the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation, and three anonymous donors.
