Bring Structured Literacy Into Real Reading
Ready-to-use Structured Literacy Book Clubs help students apply and transfer the literacy skills you’re explicitly teaching through authentic picture books and chapter books.
Give students meaningful opportunities to use their developing skills as they read, discuss, build vocabulary, strengthen comprehension, and respond to real texts, without having to plan every lesson yourself.
“We don’t do real reading with you.”
One of my students said this to me once. She was getting the explicit, targeted literacy instruction she needed, but her comment made me realize something important.
Students need direct, systematic instruction. They also need opportunities to apply and transfer those skills through authentic reading, discussion, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing.
Structured Literacy Book Clubs are designed to bring those pieces together.
See what structured literacy looks like when it connects to authentic literature.
Word Study + Literacy Skills
Connect explicit literacy instruction to words, patterns, and language students encounter as they read.
Phonics + Word Study
Identify and practice words from the passage, organized by relevant spelling patterns and syllable types.
Vocabulary
Preview important words from the book so students can better understand and talk about what they are reading.
Fluency
Give students opportunities to read authentic text while building accuracy, automaticity, phrasing, and confidence.
Comprehension
Explicit instruction in specific comprehension strategies aligned to each chapter or section of the book.
The literacy skills are explicit. The reading is meaningful. And because everything is already connected for you, you don't have to build the lesson from scratch.
Written Response
Help students organize and communicate their thinking through meaningful writing connected directly to what they have read.
The Book Stays at the Center
Each Structured Literacy Book Club is built around one authentic picture book or chapter book, with the literacy instruction, reading, discussion, and written response connected across the text.
Instead of having to choose a book and then build all of those pieces yourself, you have a clear sequence of lessons already planned for you.
The explicit instruction is still there.
Now students have a place to apply and transfer it within real reading.

Follow the Ready-to-Use Lessons
Each comprehensive Book Club includes 10 fully planned lessons that connect reading, vocabulary, comprehension, discussion, written response, and literacy skill application around the same book.

Go Deeper
These aren’t 10 quick lessons you have to squeeze into 10 days. A single lesson may stretch across multiple literacy blocks, and one Book Club can often support two to three months of instruction.

That means you don’t need dozens of different books or a new plan every week.
Just a few of your favorite Book Clubs can carry you through a significant portion of the school year.

You want students to apply and transfer the literacy skills you’re explicitly teaching while reading authentic books.
You want to spend more time reading, discussing, building vocabulary, and writing about meaningful texts.
You want a sustained literacy experience around one book, rather than moving from one unrelated passage or activity to the next.
You want ready-to-use lessons that give you a clear instructional path without spending hours planning an entire Book Club yourself.
Structured Literacy Book Clubs work well for reading interventionists, special educators, literacy specialists, tutors, and classroom teachers.
💬 “The commitment your team has is phenomenal, and it has made my job so much easier and more rewarding. I now approach my work with greater confidence, knowing that my intervention is targeting exactly what each of my students needs and is truly a difference.” - Marisa S.

Or you can open your Book Club and teach.
Structured Literacy Book Clubs give you 13 thoughtfully designed, comprehensive Book Clubs with approximately 130 ready-to-use lessons, so you can spend less time creating materials and more time helping students read, discuss, write, and apply the literacy skills they’re learning.
