TextGenome
The goal for TextGenome is to help kids love reading by using books, articles and passages that match their individual interests,
vocabulary and world knowledge. Once kids love to read they read more and become proficient readers and thus great
learners. We implement a research-based systematic approach to help kids learn the words they need to know as well as the
system of language - word families, concept networks - in which words are used. To learn more about TextGenome, visit
