Evidence-based PreK–2nd grade curriculum grounded in structured literacy and the Science of Reading.
Schools use Waterford Early Learning to support students from preschool through 2nd grade. Its explicit, systematic instruction adapts to each child’s needs while fitting seamlessly into existing school routines. This empowers teachers to provide small-group instruction, targeted intervention, and kindergarten readiness support for every student.
“When I came to Orangeburg, I looked at our KRA data. Only 18% of our students were entering kindergarten ready to learn. But through the implementation of Waterford and our commitment to fidelity, we’re happy to report that the readiness rate has now grown to 40.56%.”
— Dr. Shawn Foster, Superintendent, Orangeburg County School District, South Carolina
