Read Well is a primary reading curriculum for K-2 students that provides whole class and small group instruction. It uses mastery-based and differentiated teaching strategies. Students are placed into small groups based on their assessed reading skills and work to master skills before advancing. The program provides flexible scheduling options and includes phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension and fluency instruction daily. While independent research is limited, Read Well incorporates evidence-based practices and Cambium Learning has conducted internal studies showing its effectiveness.
