It can be used with any core program to ensure explicit and systematic phonics instruction, and empowers students in Grades K-3 to build the essential foundational skills they need to learn to read and read to learn.

A 4-part framework breaks instruction down to simple steps: Teach, Practice, Apply, and Prove.

To apply this framework, Ready4Reading features three interconnected modules:

• Wiley Blevins Teaching Phonics: systematic phonics instruction

• Short Reads Decodables: engaging phonics practice

• Read to Know Text Sets: applying skills and building knowledge.

These modules can work together as a comprehensive phonics program, or can be purchased separately to support your existing program. You can learn more about each module by reading the dedicated columns to the right.

Two powerful assessment tools, including voice recognition technology, provide the data and reporting educators need to pinpoint instruction to individual student needs. Learn more in the "Ready4Reading Student Assessments" column to the right.

These texts develop phonemic awareness, word study skills, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency.
