Learning to read is an excursion into the unknown. It's about meeting challenges head-on and gaining confidence with each victory. Preparing students for this voyage requires a program that lets teachers introduce the right discoveries at the right time. When things begin to line up, you can see confidence start to shine in students' eyes. Journeys is a comprehensive K-6 English language arts program. It provides an instructional system for reading both literature and informational texts, for acquiring foundational reading skills, and for developing mastery of speaking, listening and writing.
Journeys is built on a deep foundation of scientific research but treats students as young people who need to be encouraged—and to have fun. The result? An engaging learning experience that fits.
Sculpt lesson plans from scaffolded instruction and immerse students in small group sessions that fit like a glove.
Provide opportunities for thoughtful analysis and problem solving using texts that can be read and re-read for multiple purposes.

To build confidence, students need flexible, individualized study. Journeys features complex anchor texts that challenge students, smart lesson plans that let teachers target the needs of all students, and assessments and digital tools that help track classroom progress.
With the right combination of demanding materials and individualized instruction, Journeys offers students the types of challenges needed to mold them into stronger readers. It’s a recipe for the continued growth they’ll need to excel at today’s rigorous assessments, college, and beyond.
Anchor text reading instruction challenges students well beyond their first encounter. A special three-part routine guides students to grasp big ideas, then analyze short passages, and finally undertake independent close reading.
The Student eBook guides students to highlight and make notes about the answers and evidence they are learning to gather.
Trade Books provide a backdrop for project-based learning and give students the opportunity to apply what they have been learning to extended texts.
Journeys Leveled Readers for Guided Reading, by Irene Fountas, allow students to get individualized practice alongside the core coursework.
Complete solutions for Tier I, II, and III intervention to reinforce skills, scaffold instruction, and teach key foundational skills.
Strategic language support for English learners provides integrated support and scaffolds for every lesson, plus five days of additional instruction to develop language skills, all enabling ELs to engage with core instruction.
Students’ confidence grows when the challenges they face are the right size. Teachers should be given the tools to find the right fit. Journeys is designed to be that tool.
Weekly lesson plans make it easy for teachers to design customized lessons, allowing them to spend more time teaching and less time planning.
A realistic approach to pacing allows teachers to focus on depth and rigor, giving the class more time with each text.
Digital tools, like our Interactive Focus Wall and Teacher eBook, simplify planning and enrich instruction.
A comprehensive assessment system (including weekly tests, benchmark assessments, and unit tests) gives teachers the tools they need to monitor student progress.
The online dashboard gives teachers visibility into the progress of their class, providing the insights they need to develop customized lesson plans.
Tech-enhanced questions like drag-and-drop and multi-select allow students to prepare for high-stakes assessment formats.
Journeys scope and sequences are plans teachers can trust. They provide a pedagogical sequence that’s developmentally appropriate and research-based. That way, as students embark on their literacy journey, a path is being charted for the skills and knowledge they’ll need down the road.
