Know-Its: The Link to Reading

Know-Its Essentials Makes Common Core Easy

Know-Its Essentials is an online program for teaching K-2nd graders how to read. It also has hands-on materials to further the interaction of students.

Mr. Know-It makes learning to read easy and fun! The Foundational Skills K-2 of Common Core come alive as teachers use interactive whiteboards, Ipads, and computers. Know-It Essentials teaches basic reading skills using not only technology but hands-on games and activities, offering the best of two worlds.

Know-Its Essentials includes benchmarks and graphing for individual progress reports and assessment. (Great for RtI students!)

Know-Its Essentials integrates the Common Core Foundational Skills with writing and reading books. Therefore children see a reason for learning the skills.

Know-Its Essentials Kindergarten-First-Second Grade Program includes:
Over 300 online teacher lessons
Over 250 teaching aids for interactive whiteboards
Over 300 activities for individual or group use
Over 70 online games
Over 40 online books
Teaching Tools Kit (hands-on) including word cards, games, journal, magnetic lapboard, charts.

Complete Package includes all that is listed above plus:
Game Box
MagnaBoard Sets
Journals (Kindergarten Level)
Mr. Know-It Puppet

Smart Board activities (or other interactive whiteboards) give children fun, competitive ways to learn sight words, beginning sounds, and many other foundational skills. The material is flexible for many kinds of teachers: Classroom Teachers, Reading Specialist, Title I, Special Education, and ELL Teachers. All types have used the material and seen significant results. (See research.)

Our new Know-Its Essentials is mainly online which is supported by hands-on games and activities. Our original Know-Its and Beyond programs are mainly hands-on, supported by online games. So Know-Its can fit your needs which ever program you use. Either way, Common Core Reading Games are a must!

If teachers prefer the original programs, the entire school can use the online games free for one year.  For more details see Mr. Know-It's Online Classroom.

Know-Its also has a Pre-Kindergarten program with kits and big books (see the Products Tab at top). The PreK online games are free for one year!

Research Published!

A study by Dr. Sandra Goetze evaluating the effectiveness of the Know-Its and Beyond Program has been published in The Journal of Balanced Reading Instruction, Spring 2008 (a special interest group of the International Reading Asssociation). The results "clearly demonstrated that students perfomed better on standardized testing" and "achieved significant gains in these [early literacy] skills when compared to students who did not participate" (p. 141, 155).
