Follow Our Scope and Sequence
Research shows that foundational skills instruction must be taught explicitly, systematically, and sequentially to ensure students learn the necessary skills to develop reading proficiency. Foundations A-Z offers a built-in scope and sequence that lays out the order to teach skills that gradually increases in complexity.
Explicit Lessons for all Foundational Skills
Explicit, guided lesson plans that follow a gradual release of responsibility (I Do, You Do, We Do) are easy to implement and allow you to teach all foundational skills, including phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, phonics (including advanced word study), print concepts, and fluency.
Professional Development On-Demand at Point-Of-Use
Access professional development resources on-demand either at point-of-use within the lesson plans or within the Professional Development Library. All resources are available on-demand in video, podcast, or article format, allowing teachers to boost their confidence when delivering Science of Reading-aligned instruction in as little as 5 minutes.
Review, Reteach, and Reinforce
Foundations A-Z simplifies the differentiation of instruction by generating auto-recommended resources within the student dashboard based on unit assessment scores, saving teachers time as they review, reteach, or reinforce specific skills.
An Immersive and Multisensory Student Experience
Foundations A-Z offers both a digital and printable experience for independent student practice. Teachers set the course for students by assigning books and activities for them to complete. Students can access videos, games, digital books, and quizzes in the student portal, while teachers can access printable practice sheets and cards to provide a tactile learning experience.
