What is the How Wee Learn Grade One Literacy Curriculum?
This isn’t a collection of worksheets or a patchwork of disconnected lessons. The How Wee Learn Grade One Literacy Curriculum is a teacher-created, thoughtfully designed, complete literacy curriculum that builds strong reading and writing skills.
We take things one manageable step at a time… in one page a day. ✅
And yes, it’s designed to work in real homes, with real kids, and real attention spans.
It really is that simple.
The How Wee Learn Methodology
The How Wee Learn Literacy Curriculum follows both the Science of Reading and the Orton-Gillingham approach, blending proven research with lessons that are practical, approachable, and kid-friendly.
An Orton-Gillingham Approach
At its core, Orton-Gillingham instruction is:
- 📖 Explicit & Direct
- 🧠 Systematic & Sequential
- 🔁 Cumulative
- 🙌 Multisensory
- 🔎 Diagnostic & Prescriptive
Orton-Gillingham principles are woven throughout the How Wee Learn Literacy Curriculum, across every grade.
One page a day truly is enough.
More pages don’t always mean more learning. In fact, sometimes they just mean more overwhelm.
The How Wee Learn Literacy Curriculum keeps learning clear, focused, and manageable, helping children learn effectively without burnout. Lessons are straightforward, purposeful, and built around what actually matters. All in one page a day.
This is literacy instruction that feels supportive—not stressful.
It isn’t about doing less.
It’s about doing what works.
