Where Evidence Meets Engagement
Ready4Reading is a complete systematic phonics program grounded in the latest Science of Reading research. But what makes it so special are the high-interest instructional routines and decodable texts that spark a love of reading right from an early age.
Here's How It Works
Ready4Reading features three modules that work together as a comprehensive phonics program or can be purchased separately to support your existing program.
Highly Decodable, Highly Enjoyable
Ready4Reading's decodable texts aren’t just instructional tools. They’re engaging to read and prepare students to make a smooth transition from decodable to natural language texts.
Equity-Driven Assessments
With two powerful assessments, teachers get the data they need to optimize instruction for every child.
