About Us Mondo Publishing was founded in 1986 by Mark Vineis. Initially an organization specializing in professional learning, Mondo remains dedicated to supporting best practices in literacy instruction and leadership development. We believe that all students can achieve high standards given sufficient time and support. In 1994 Mondo began publishing supplemental reading/language arts resources, followed by core and intervention materials. Mondo resources also include the noteworthy Let’s Talk About It! Oral Language program, InfoPairs - Paired Nonfiction Articles, Talk About Books, and a variety of practical and effective core, intervention, and supplemental solutions for the K–5 classroom. The word “mondo” means “world” in Italian. Here at Mondo we are working to help all students become fully literate and expand their world in all its diversity. We want to help them access to the real world of information and the imaginative world of literature, and to empower them with the ability to comprehend, communicate, and contribute to their world.
