American Reading is a valuable resource for educators, parents, and anyone searching for reliable information about effective education. Their newly revamped website is loaded with well-organized articles, videos, and recommendations about curricula that excel at building crucial academic knowledge. The website emerged as a part of the Knowledge Matters Campaign, which advocates for prioritizing rich content in history, science, and the arts, especially at the elementary level.

Unlike previous approaches that focused on reading comprehension skills, American Reading emphasizes imparting substantive academic knowledge and vocabulary to students. The website features video clips of teachers discussing the positive impact of adopting these knowledge-building curricula, along with searchable articles and social media threads. American Reading also provides comprehensive information on six English Language Arts curricula that effectively build knowledge and reading skills.

With additional resources and a Scientific Advisory Committee, American Reading is a leading advocate for the importance of knowledge-building in education. Visit their website to stay informed and engaged with the latest advancements in effective curriculum development
