Text reads: “MORE works. Here’s the HOW and WHY.” The text features different colors, with "MORE" in light green, "works." in dark blue, "Here’s the" in dark blue, "HOW" in light green, and "and WHY." in dark blue. The overall design is bold and eye-catching.

MORE is a spiral curriculum

Your first question might be: What’s a spiral curriculum?

Coined by Jerome Bruner in 1960, spiral learning theory refers to curricula in which key concepts and skills repeat with deepening layers of complexity or new applications year after year.

MORE runs from grades 1st through third. On the right, you can see that each year students build on an existing foundation.

"The average MORE reader gained nine and a half weeks of additional learning..."

... without any additional class time!

The caption includes the following text:

"KEY EVIDENCE
Multiple research studies found that MORE has a significant impact on ALL STUDENTS— not just high performers. This included students from all socio-economic backgrounds and historically marginalized groups.

ACCELERATED LEARNING across subjects.
The average MORE reader gained NINE AND A HALF WEEKS of additional learning.

And…
MORE students scored higher on both standardized reading and math assessments. Those gains persisted after students were no longer receiving MORE lessons."

READ ABOUT OUR LONG TERM STUDY EXPLORE THE RESEARCH

Who is doing the research?

Three Flexible Tools

A woman with long, curly hair and a red top is standing and gesturing toward an open book. There are three children in front of her: a boy with dark hair in a purple shirt, a girl with short black hair wearing a striped shirt and a purple skirt, and a boy with blue hair wearing a blue shirt and hat. The background features green leaves and a soft yellow circle behind the book.

MORE includes 30 lessons each year in first, second, and third grades:

15 science lessons
15 social studies lessons

At the heart of each lesson, you'll find:

Concept mapping
Equitable discussion routines

EXPLORE A LESSON A girl in a red dress is standing in front of a large digital tablet displaying colorful rectangular icons. She is reaching out to touch one of the icons. In the background, there are books, a pencil, and green plants.

MORE digital activities are designed to foster transfer to students' meta-linguistic abilities, including:

Word recognition skills
Language comprehension skills

We want kids to laugh and love playing with language!

TRY AN ACTIVITY A boy with short black hair sits at a desk, focused on a light blue laptop. He wears a red shirt and has a cheerful expression. In front of him is a cup with colorful pens, and there are green plants in the background, adding a lively touch to the scene.

MORE's formative assessments of transfer measure how far students can transfer the knowledge they have acquired from the MORE lessons and digital activities, and apply that knowledge to different topics.
