Teacher Resources

The tools that live beside the daily teaching, gathered in one place. Every document opens right in your browser.
PURPOSE
This page gathers the tools that live beside the daily teaching: reading passages, read aloud passages, text complexity reports, standards slide decks, spelling, and more.
RATIONALE
Every passage grows through four stamina levels, and the tools around it help a teacher match the right text and support to each student.

Welcome

Welcome to the readings at the heart of it all. Every passage your students meet lives here, gathered in one place and grown through four stamina levels, so the same story can stretch to fit a beginning reader and an established one in the very same week. Everything else here, the spelling and the writing tools, grows straight out of these same readings.

The Writing Matrix also comes with its teacher handout and its slide deck.
