The Resource That Will Transform Your Teaching

The Structured Literacy Playbook: Preplanned Lessons to Build Phonics and Fluency Skills provides educators with practical, evidence-based instructional strategies and lesson frameworks to foster efficient literacy development. Drawing an analogy to athletic training, the book emphasizes a balance of clear instruction and meaningful practice, offering "Game Plans" that serve as model lessons. While these Game Plans are designed to accompany decodable texts from the publisher PhonicBooks, the structured literacy routines and "Winning Strategies" presented are highly adaptable and can be seamlessly applied with any decodable text. This ensures a practical and efficient approach to building foundational accuracy, fluency, and comprehension.

The book's chapters are thoughtfully organized to align with Ehri's phases of word recognition, providing a sequential approach to skill development. The Playbook addresses the critical need for effective literacy instruction, especially in light of persistent challenges in reading proficiency, aligning its multi-componential approach with the "Science of Reading."

It's designed to empower a wide range of practitioners—from general educators to tutors—to implement explicit, systematic, and incremental instruction, ultimately helping students achieve significant gains in reading achievement and become lifelong learners.
