Evidence-based literacy instruction made easy.
We help educators and literacy specialists identify why students are struggling to read or write, target instruction to the right gaps, and move students forward with confidence.
When students are struggling to read or write, it can be hard to know which gap to target first or what instruction should come next.
Educators need a clear way to use their student data to identify what their students need
And respond with literacy instruction that fits.
We’re here to help, whether you need to target one core area of literacy, implement a systematic, structured literacy curriculum, or get coaching to confidently organize your literacy data and turn it into an evidence-based plan.
When you know the general gap and need to strengthen one core area of literacy instruction.
Delivering SMARTER Intervention
When your students’ literacy gaps require explicit, systematic literacy instruction.
When you have the data, but you are not totally sure what it means or what should come next.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Start by identifying the foundations of effective literacy instruction. These simple routines support the core components of literacy instruction and can be used across settings from whole-group instruction to intervention.
By starting with simple routines to support executive functioning, phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and writing, you can begin to identify where students may need additional support.
Looking for Structured Literacy Support?
Many students who struggle to read or write need explicit, systematic literacy instruction. And we know exactly how difficult it can be to piece together effective intervention that meets the needs of all your students.
This is exactly why we created Delivering SMARTER Intervention, which offers comprehensive, research-aligned literacy support at the elementary and secondary levels.
