This program includes teacher guides that focus on explicit teaching of comprehension strategies such as text structure, predictions, summarizing, main idea, and identifying unfamiliar vocabulary. The resources include beginning phonics and phonograph reinforcement, with worksheets for students to practice writing. There are posters, cards, and worksheets that support phonics instruction, particularly chunking and reading words with affixes. However, there is little allowance for differentiation and meeting the needs of diverse learners. The texts are primarily short paragraphs and no informational text features are included. Questions are primarily multiple choice and DOK level 1. The resources are mostly blackline masters, with no online or virtual resources.
