Build content knowledge and vocabulary in
the context of literacy instruction.

Develop knowledge with module topics and text sets

Each three-week module is focused on building knowledge on a central topic, which students explore through carefully curated text sets with topics developed and expanded within and across grades.

Florida B.E.S.T. Readings

The Florida B.E.S.T. Readings and lessons provide opportunities to extend learning and develop engaged readers who build close reading strategies, analyze texts, and write to sources. Use the lessons to flexibly integrate these readings along with core instruction.

Vocabulary and language development

Teach academic vocabulary words, generative vocabulary, and vocabulary strategies each week to expand student knowledge of how words work.
