Abstract
This study investigated three different reading curriculums in a rural school district that they will implement next year. The objective of this study was to give the school district information about the three different curriculums as well as teachers in grades 1st through 6th, administration, and the district’s curriculum director thoughts on the curriculum. Twelve different individuals were invited to state their thoughts about the different curriculums being considered through interview questions. My interviews showed me that teachers look for three specific things when choosing a reading curriculum. They look at the difficulty of the text, vocabulary words, and the level of comprehension needed for the students. Administration was very supportive of their teachers input. The curriculum director wanted to select a reading curriculum that is well rounded for all six primary grade levels. The rural school district selected the In to Reading Curriculum and will be implementing next year.

Which Reading Curriculum works better in Primary Grade Levels?
This study investigated three different reading curriculums in a rural school district that they will implement next year. The objective of this study was to give the school district information about the three different curriculums as well as teachers in grades 1st through 6th, administration, and the district’s curriculum director thoughts on the curriculum. Twelve different individuals were invited to state their thoughts about the different curriculums being considered through interview questions. My interviews showed me that teachers look for three specific things when choosing a reading curriculum. They look at the difficulty of the text, vocabulary words, and the level of comprehension needed for the students. Administration was very supportive of their teachers input. The curriculum director wanted to select a reading curriculum that is well rounded for all six primary grade levels. The rural school district selected the In to Reading Curriculum and will be implementing next year.
