CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, January 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Klett World Languages, Inc. (KWL), a leading U.S. publisher of world language programs and a member of the global Klett Group, is proud to share the news of the incorporation of Schoolwide, Inc.—a nationally recognized provider of K–8 English Language Arts (ELA), literacy curriculum, and professional development—into the Klett Group.

Following this incorporation, Schoolwide, Inc. will begin operating under the name Klett Schoolwide Publishing, Inc., reflecting its integration into the Klett Group’s global family of education companies.

A SHARED COMMITMENT TO LITERACY, LANGUAGE, AND BILINGUAL LEARNING

For over three decades, Schoolwide, Inc. has been a trusted partner to schools and districts across the United States. Founded in 1993, the company first gained national attention through a Parade Magazine feature highlighting its student-run bookstore initiative, created to give economically disadvantaged students access to high-quality books.

Over time, Schoolwide evolved from “the little bookstore with the long reach” into a leading developer of ELA and literacy curriculum and digital learning solutions. Its comprehensive Fundamentals Units of Study—spanning writing, reading, grammar, content literacy, and foundational skills—are research-based, classroom-tested, and implemented in tens of thousands of classrooms across more than 40 states.

Through its Fundamentals Unlimited digital platform, educators have access to:
- 100+ units of study for Grades K–8
- 10,000+ lessons and assessments
- 1,000+ short texts and eBooks
- Specialized eLearning and remote-teaching modules

EXPANDING THE FUTURE OF LANGUAGE, LITERACY, AND BILINGUAL EDUCATION

As part of the Klett Group’s expansion, Klett World Languages, Inc. and Klett Schoolwide Publishing, Inc. (formerly Schoolwide, Inc.) will collaborate strategically to support educators across the full continuum of language and literacy learning—from early reading to advanced communication in multiple languages. Together, they will offer coherent instructional solutions that connect English Language Arts and World Languages through literacy-based pedagogy.

“Language and literacy are inseparable,” said Hanne Sinclair, VP of Sales at Klett World Languages. By welcoming Schoolwide into the Klett family, we’re broadening our capacity to support teachers in helping students build stronger communication and literacy skills in both English and world languages.”

“At Schoolwide, our long-standing mission has been to empower educators with effective tools and models for teaching literacy. Joining the Klett family reflects our shared belief in the deep interconnectedness of language and literacy, and our commitment to helping all students grow as readers, writers, and thinkers across languages.” Rory Cohen, Educational Director at Schoolwide, Inc.
