Lucy Calkins and her TCRWP colleagues are excited to announce that the new Units of Study in Phonics curriculum for Grades K-2 will begin releasing this summer. This new, lean approach to phonics will help primary educators provide explicit, workshop-based instruction that easily transfers to reading and writing and readily engages kids in the process. 

In the video below, Lucy explains what drove the development of these new phonics units.
