Pardon our stardust ...
After many years in our original online home, the Barksdale Reading Institute is joining forces with WETA/Reading Rockets and First Book to transform Reading Universe. We’re building a modern, multimedia-rich platform
to better support you as you teach children to read and write, no matter their age.
And it’s free!


Here’s a sneak peek at Reading Universe 2.0!
We’re working hard to launch our prototype late this summer.
And we’ll be adding more content through the fall and into 2024.

We envision a future ...
where every child is bursting with the confidence earned from learning how to read and write well.
