“The bulk of the time in any given phonics lesson should be devoted to applying the skill to real reading and writing situations.” – Wiley Blevins Ed.D.    Bring phonics to life with explicit, systematic, multi-modal instruction! Benchmark Phonics, developed with Wiley Blevins, Ed.D., for Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruction, offers a structured literacy approach that emphasizes application of learning to reading and writing—where the learning sticks. This program, available as a 25-copy print-and-digital bundle for Grade 1, is based on the latest Science of Reading research and the 7 Foundations of Strong Phonics Instruction. Designed for building vocabulary and content knowledge, it features built-in differentiation that supports whole-group, small-group, and independent instruction, and opportunities for parents to actively engage in their child's learning experience. Plus, a powerful Teacher’s Resource System provides robust support for educators, including a sequential scope and sequence with spiral review to build transfer and mastery.
