The Science Behind Magpie

While Magpie is designed to be easy for students to use independently, we know many educators want to understand what students are learning along the way. The resources below walk through each section of the curriculum in the order students experience it. Explore the scope and sequence for each unit, then hear from our Academic team as they explain the literacy concepts being taught, why those skills matter, and how they build toward confident, successful readers.
