The research is clear. Systematic, explicit, and cumulative phonics instruction is the most effective way to teach children how to read words. The science of how children learn to read may be complicated but implementing it in the classroom doesn’t have to be. Language Foundations, Short Reads Decodables, and Read To Know Text Sets are each built on an easy-to-use framework that breaks systematic instruction down into four simple steps: Teach, Practise, Apply, Assess.

Build content-area knowledge while cementing phonics skills with Read To Know Text Sets. These highly decodables text sets include 75% non-fiction and reflect the co-ordinated skills applications students need to bridge their skills from decodable to authentic text. The Watch & Learn videos for each Text Set introduce the topic, build background knowledge, and develop content-specific vocabulary.
