MOWR – K–3 Reading Adoption
Queen Creek Unified School District (QCUSD) is in the process of adopting and implementing a k–3 core reading curriculum that is fully compliant with A.R.S. §15-704 and aligned to the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) Move On When Reading (MOWR) vetted Core/Supplemental Reading Curriculum List (“Green” designation). We have products that have been selected based on a rubric completed by the community.
The selected materials are:
- Into Reading (HMH)
- Wit and Wisdom (Great Minds)
- FUNdations (Wilson Reading)
- Core Phonics Program (95 Percent Group)
We can choose to adopt multiple products to meet the needs of our community based on feedback submitted in the next 60 days.
The physical materials will be available at the following locations:
