One plan, one sequence, everything connected.
Every lesson, mapped out
The Teacher Guide lays out the full year: what to teach, when to teach it, and how skills build on each other. Whole-group lessons, small-group differentiation, and assessments are all in one place.
- Open Daily Plan
- It's the home base. The slides, the books, and the practice all move through the same progression of skills
Ready to present
Integrated slide decks bring the plan to life, with teacher notes built in to support phonemic awareness, phonics, blending routines, vocabulary, and comprehension.
- Whole group instruction
- Each deck teaches the skill the Teacher Guide planned, and sets students up for the books they're about to read.
Practice in real stories
Students apply each skill in decodable books and passages, so they don't just see a pattern once. They master it through cumulative, successful reading.
Reading practice
The books follow the same sequence as the lessons, so students read what they've just been taught.
Decode, encode, repeat
Student workbooks reinforce decoding, writing, and fluency. Use them for independent work, small groups, or extra practice. Posters, letter formation cards, and the word builder add hands-on support.
Writing practice
Everything is aligned to the same progression of skills, so practice always matches the lesson.
Know what to do next
Diagnostic sound assessments, plus decoding and encoding summatives for every unit. They're easy to give, and the results show you where to go next.
- Evaluate
- What you learn flows straight back into the next lesson and into small groups, with Instrucción a la medida to help you respond to errors.
