Beginning Reading Instruction (BRI)/Advanced Reading Instruction (ARI) is a highly researched, and simple reading program that helps children learn to decode.

A teaching guide, along with the three sets of books, and the booster set (extra practice) are all you need to begin teaching a child to read. Additional materials, such as tests to make sure a child has mastered the skills after they complete each set, and ways to keep track of progress are included.

Each book set offers a drop down menu featuring the book, suggestions for looking through and discussing the book and story questions.

This site offers free Research-Based, Teacher-Approved Texts for supporting decoding and beyond.

How it works:
- Beyond Decodables aim to support young readers success in reading by allowing children the chance to decode words in a meaningful context.
- Use the "Beyond Decodables Scope and Sequence" chart to pick the right text for your student(s).
- Most texts are available in digital editions (projectable PDFs) and printer-friendly editions.

Sets of texts:
- CVC Words
- Consonant Digraphs
- Consonant Blends
- Long Vowel Patterns
- CVCe Words
- Multisyllabic Words

The skills required to read a passage are listed in the top right corner of the passage. Words to preview and differentiation suggestions are also provided for the teacher.

The Can Do Kids website is full of ready-made resources to support teachers and learners in their study of orthography.

You have to sign up for an account, then can download free resources, including beautiful posters, that are connected to picture books supporting a variety of orthographic lessons. Please note, some items have a cost, but there are still many free resources on this site.

From the document:
"The Countdown Passages are strictly controlled stories that align with the phonics skills and Heart Words taught in Countdown. Aside from the
Heart Words in the passages, all of the words included are decodable according to the Countdown Scope & Sequence; however, due to the use
of some Heart Words that have not been explicitly taught in Countdown according to the guidelines described below, we consider the passages
to be “strictly controlled” rather than completely “decodable."

There are 12 fiction passages: one for each unit in Countdown, beginning with Unit 17. The passages provide students with longer, connected-text
opportunities to apply the skills they are learning in Countdown. In the Countdown workbook, students practice reading words, phrases, and
sentences. With the Countdown Passages, students extend their practice to longer sections of text. As students develop mastery and automaticity
with the skills taught in Countdown, the Countdown Passages can be used to reinforce these skills, to provide opportunities for practice, and,
ideally, to build fluency. Students will also gain confidence as readers. Reading text controlled for the specific skills students have already
learned allows them to read with success, leading to confidence and the willingness to tackle more difficult text in the future."

A scope and sequence is included as well as 47 passages and activities.

Phonological awareness skills are important in order to develop good reading and spelling skills. Having good phonological awareness skills means that a child is able to manipulate sounds and words, or “play” with sounds and words. For example, you might ask your child to break the word “cat” into individual sounds: “c-a-t.” Important: These skills deal with SOUNDS not letters. For example, /t/ represents the sound and not the letter name “tee.” You will not use any written or visual letters when working with phonological activities. These activities are done with listening and speaking only. Learning the letter names and their corresponding sounds is also very important but should be taught and practiced at a different time of the day. This resource will have a weekly activity for your to work on with your child/student(s). It will include a handout with information and guidance, as well as a video to help support you and the learner.

Cognitive psychology and neuroscience have begun to dissect the neuronal mechanisms of literacy using brain-imaging techniques. During reading acquisition, our brain circuitry recycles several of its pre-existing visual and auditory areas in order to reorient them to the processing of letters and phonemes. The nature of this "neuronal recycling" process helps explain many of the children's difficulties in learning to read. Our growing understanding of the child's brain has important consequences for how education should be optimally organized.

Understanding how the brain learns to read can help us all be more effective in teaching students to read.

During the 2019-2020 Professional Learning Communities in Sun West, the Early Learning/Phonological Awareness PLC created this recourse to help Teachers in their ELA programming with an overview of learning to read.This continuum may also be helpful to parents, Educational Assistants, and other people in a student's educational team!Find the resource and a short webinar on how to use the resource here.

A scope and sequence is included. 25 lessons are provided with a structure that includes: pre-reading, first read, second/third read, comprehension check, fluency check.
