Wild Reading® Level One takes beginning readers on a story-based journey following Matilda the Mouse and her adventures to the top of a marvelous mountain. Each week, the story highlights the week’s featured letter sound and is followed by lessons and nature-inspired activities in phonological awareness skills, letter formation, word families/phonics, common “sight” words, writing activities, independent reading practice using decodable books, and other key literacy skills throughout the week. Phonics skills are taught sequentially.

Wild Reading® Level Two continues the sequential introduction of phonics patterns such as long vowels, vowel teams, and r- controlled vowels taught using multi-sensory activities that can be done indoors or out. Children begin each week reading, writing, and building words, then progress to reading and writing at the sentence level and then finally end the week by read a decodable book or nature story from the Wild Reader. Reading and writing activities are nature inspired, hands on and fun. Reading comprehension skills are a taught through reading  quality picture books aloud  to build background knowledge combined with discussion and activities.  Nature enrichment activities are suggested for each week and build background knowledge about the natural world.
