Finally, structured literacy lessons built for older students.
If your older students are still struggling to read and everything you’ve tried feels too young or too scattered, you’re not alone.
We created Delivering SMARTER Intervention – Secondary to give you the structure you need and the support they deserve.
You’re doing your best to fill the gaps.
But when you’re cobbling together resources from TPT, pulling from programs that weren’t built for teens, or trying to adapt elementary tools for secondary students, it can feel like you’re constantly behind.
You shouldn’t have to choose between giving your students the support they need and surviving your day-to-day demands.
When the materials aren’t aligned and the plan isn’t clear, it’s easy to feel like you’re doing everything, but still not getting anywhere.
Without the right support, we risk:
Students staying stuck in a cycle of struggle
Teachers feeling ineffective or burned out
Schools missing IEP goals or district expectations
And the worst part? Everyone is working hard. But without the right tools, it rarely leads to progress.
It doesn’t have to stay that way.
What if the support you need already existed, and it was designed with your exact challenges in mind?
Imagine having a complete system that takes the guesswork out of secondary intervention, so you can focus on helping your students grow.
No more piecing together lessons. No more wondering if your materials are age-appropriate or aligned with research. Just clear, flexible, evidence-based support for the students who need it most.
That’s exactly what you’ll find inside:
