Welcome, Oklahoma Educators!
Here you will find resources to help you review The Superkids Reading Program, an Oklahoma-approved ELA program, during the 2021–2022 adoption.
Success in beginning reading is key to reading success later in the intermediate grades. Crafted specifically for grades K–2, Superkids teaches all aspects of reading with a focus on the alphabetic principle. This phonics-based, explicit, systematic approach is exactly what young children need.
Schools with split adoptions for grades K–2 and 3–6 recognize what the science of reading confirms: How primary students learn to read is different, and how they’re taught matters. Read The Case for a K–2 Reading Program for the research basis of splitting your adoption.
