How does this involve me?
3rd Grade
OPTIONAL: Phonics for Reading is a resource that teachers can use in small group (15-20 minutes) instruction for T2 (Fundations is T1 phonics instruction)suggested: 15 - 20 minutes in a small group 2-3x per week
4th Grade
Fourth grade does not have Fundations. Therefore, fourth grade has Phonics for Reading as a resource to assist students at T2 and T3.It is encouraged to use Phonics as a tool/resource to teach kids who have phonics deficits based on the WTW or iReady diagnostic.

Level 3
Level 1

1- Place students in the right level of the program
2- Group students for instruction
3- Teach lessons using the scripted text provided in the Teacher Guide
4- Monitor students' progress
- Work check activities

There are many opportunitites to monitor student progress.
Each book, or level, has their own teacher-directed lessons which are in the Teacher's Guide.
Using the data collected from the assessments, students should be placed at a particular level. Also, use your professional judgement when placing students on levels.*Level 1 is typically designed for small-group instruction of up to 10 students working at the same skill level. Level 1 may also be used on a one-to-one basis.
Students will be assessed using the WTW spelling inventory as well the Passage Reading Fluency (WCPM)
