You don’t have to choose between the science of reading and the art of teaching.
We help educators implement structured literacy grounded in evidence-based routines, bringing clarity, structure, and confidence.
Simple routines. Clear structure. Confident instruction.
Effective literacy instruction should align with research, without taking away the parts of teaching you love.
It can be both systematic and responsive.
Practical trainings that help you implement simple literacy routines with clarity and confidence. Perfect for building confidence and expertise, one skill at a time.
Ready-to-implement literacy intervention programs built on the same research-backed routines for students in grades K–12, so you can support students with clarity and structure.
Ongoing professional development and a flexible library of literacy activities so you can refine instruction, respond to data, and keep growing with confidence.
Start with the Foundations: Simple Literacy Routines
Structured literacy works best when instruction is anchored in predictable, evidence-based routines. These simple frameworks create clarity across routines, from whole group instruction to intervention.
Whether you’re new to structured literacy or refining your approach, this is where the clarity begins.
From Routines to Structure
Once your instruction is anchored in predictable routines, the next step is structure. Prebuilt literacy programs save time, reduce decision fatigue, and ensure consistency across classrooms and tiers.
For students who need structured practice without intensive intervention, Fast 5 provides ready-to-use lessons built on evidence-based routines.
For students requiring targeted, systematic intervention, Delivering SMARTER Intervention offers comprehensive, research-aligned support at the elementary and secondary levels.
Keep Growing with Confidence
Once routines anchor your instruction and structure is in place, you can begin to focus on responsiveness and the true art of teaching.
The 5CCL Learning Lab provides ongoing professional development and ready-to-use literacy activities that help you respond to data, strengthen specific skills, and continue growing with clarity and confidence.
Because strong literacy instruction isn’t about chasing the next initiative. It’s about refining what already works.
Need Clarity?
If you’re not sure where to begin, start with the SMARTER Literacy Blueprint.
This one-page guide outlines a simple, research-aligned path to building strong literacy instruction — from predictable routines, to clear structure, to confident, responsive decision-making. It will help you see how the pieces fit together so you can move forward with clarity instead of overwhelm.
