My Project

My school is in need of a research-based, small-group instruction resource to help develop students' overall reading knowledge. With this comprehensive, research-based instruction, I can provide my students with a reading curriculum designed explicitly for their own instructional level.

The panel’s analysis of reading research studies concluded that the best approach to reading instruction is one that incorporates what they described as the Five

Pillars of Reading: First Phonemic Awareness: the ability to hear, recognize, and manipulate sounds. Second Phonics: matching sounds to letters and letter patterns. Third Vocabulary: understanding the meaning of words.

Fourth, Fluency: the ability to read accurately, expressively, and with appropriate speed. Fifth Comprehension: the ability to understand and retain important information to create meaning from text. The Literacy Footprints meets all of these requirements and research studies for the best approach to reading.

The goal of the Literacy Footprints Guided Reading System is simple: help all students become proficient readers who just can’t wait to read another book!
