These cards ensure our students receive strong, research-based instruction in the five core areas of reading.\r\n\r\nWe run 12 intervention groups each day across two grade levels, serving students with a wide range of needs. The lesson cards help us make the most of our existing resources and save significant planning time. Students enjoy the lesson format, pacing, and hands-on activities that build word attack skills through making and breaking words.\r\n\r\nThe lessons include high-quality decodable readers and connected stories with engaging characters. The teacher prompts encourage students to think about the strategies they use and support rich discussions that build comprehension.\r\n\r\nOur students truly love coming to reading group because they know they'll have fun while learning.
