INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

Three Key Lesson Types

These lessons work in tandem to provide a well-rounded approach to developing reading skills, all while keeping students engaged through a broad range of instructional materials.

Phonological Awareness/Phonics Lessons

Designed to provide students explicit instruction and practice in phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, and phonics.

Fluency Practice

Crafted to provide students practice in oral reading fluency.

Comprehension Lessons

Tailored to focus on vocabulary and comprehension, forming the bedrock of understanding texts.

OUR LIBRARY

Cultural Competency & Diversity

Our library boasts a diverse collection of content-rich texts that includes both foundational skills and authentic literature, with both fiction and non-fiction texts. Curated with cultural competency, it features representation from over a dozen publishers of diverse, high-quality texts.

CRITICAL THINKING

Questioning

During comprehension lessons, students answer text-dependent questions during the reading. These stopping points spark group discussions and critical thinking, aligning with the lesson’s skills and standards. The questions foster active engagement and critical analysis. They encourage collaboration, help students determine the meaning of unknown words, and support them in backing their answers with evidence from the text.
