F – 5+Cross-curricular
A complete F–5+ literacy series linked to the science curriculum
With each title clearly linked to the science curriculum, WorldWise is a high-interest literacy program that encourages inquiry and questioning while extending knowledge in science and a range of STEM topics linked to the curriculum.
WorldWise teaches reading strategies simultaneously with natural, earth and physical science concepts. Lesson Plans for each text establish a reading focus with explicit links to the science curriculum.

WorldWise Student Books
WorldWise texts introduce and revisit themes and concepts across the reading stages and build on initial concepts with increasing complexity.
WorldWise provides students with gradually increasing challenges. At each of the three levels, the student books cover topics relating to the science curriculum.
Teacher Resources
WorldWise resources teach reading strategies simultaneously with natural, earth and physical science topics.
Student books are supported by an accompanying Lesson Plan. The Lesson Plans establish a reading focus with explicit links to the science curriculum, and support teachers in creating an active learning environment.
Digital Investigations
Web-based investigations provide extension activities for selected titles in the program. Each activity encourages exploration of content linked to the curriculum outcomes in a deeper and more hands-on-way. Students are supported with a framework that encourages investigation and inquiry.
Investigations framework:
