Instruction

Introduce new readers to concepts of print, strengthening essential reading skills and teaching strategies. The flexibility in our curriculum enables teachers to tailor instruction as students become more confident and their reading skills improve.

Aligned to local, state, and national standards using the most up-to-date research and our scientifically-based instructional model.

Personalized Instruction

Achieve Literacy lessons are delivered in a small-group setting and have been developed to meet the diverse needs of learners.

Transition students from learning to read to reading to learn.

Curriculum

Our reading intervention programs, Achieve Literacy (for grades K-5) and AchieveReading (for grades 6-8) accelerate literacy growth and improve oral language. Our programs are run by a local team and staffed by local teachers trained in our proprietary reading intervention curriculum. We provide continuous professional development to integrate research-based instructional practices into our teaching. Our materials include teacher lesson manuals, student resource books, and leveled texts designed specifically for intervention.
