At Wild Learning®, we believe that the outdoor environment is the ideal classroom for children. Our curricula, Wild Math® and Wild Reading® use nature as a tool for learning essential math and reading skills.
Wild Math® reimagines math instruction for the natural outdoor environment. Full year curricula for grades K-5 are available. Fractions are modeled using mud pies, place value is introduced with bundles of sticks, multiplication is introduced by examining flower petals, and games replace worksheets.
Wild Reading® leads children through structured explicit instruction in phonological awareness skills, phonics, high frequency words, writing, reading comprehension, language and other key reading skills. Outdoor and hands on activities such as, word squares, scavenger hunts, mammal search, sit spots, and word hopscotch make learning active, hands-on, and fun.

wild reading levels
Wild Reading® Level One introduces beginning readers to phonics through a story-based journey with Matilda the Mouse. Instruction guides students in segmenting and blending letters/sounds to decode words through sequential, structured phonics instruction. Each week includes nature-inspired activities that build skills in phonological awareness, letter formation, decoding, and writing, along with opportunities for independent reading using decodable books, helping young readers become skilled readers.
Wild Reading® Level Two continues to build phonics skills through a sequential introduction to long vowels, vowel teams, and r-controlled vowels using multisensory outdoor activities. Each week progresses from word work to reading and writing sentences, ending with reading a longer, decodable book. Language and reading comprehension are supported through rich read-alouds, discussions, and weekly nature-based enrichment activities that build background knowledge and connect literacy to the natural world.
