What are other teachers saying about the Science of Reading Guided Curriculum?

"These have been an absolute game changer in my reading instruction. Never in my 6 years teaching have I had students so confidently sounding out words and manipulating sounds. I am so very thankful for this resource and will be using it for years to come!" - Lindsay S.

"Since using this resource, my students now LOVE to read and request to read to the principal and vice-principal on a daily basis because they want to show off their reading skills. My students feel such success with reading and are going through these books much faster than I expected. That part I am very happy with because I have never seen so many kids eager to read. I love this resource, it helps to build confidence in children's ability to read with the well laid out lesson plans that are quick and simple to use and keep the attention span of young children."

How to get started with your Science of Reading Small Groups:

1. Use the included placement assessment to group your students.
2. Start each group in the unit they showed difficulty in - if a student stops the assessment at digraphs, they will most likely begin in Unit 4.
3. Frequently assess students with notes, running records, and the included assessments. Groups should be fluid. Students may progress at different paces and that's okay!
