At its essence, reading is the product of two cognitive elements— language comprehension and decoding. You cannot read if you can’t decode accurately. However, you cannot learn to read by just learning to decode. JillE Literacy embeds explicit instruction and repeated practice in foundational literacy skills throughout every text, uniquely using highly engaging books and poems rather than decodable texts.

No two children are alike when it comes to literacy development. Reading abilities vary from child to child—regardless of age. That’s why it’s essential to differentiate materials and instruction based on children’s stage of literacy development rather than their chronological age. Whole-class resources use scaffolded read-aloud and shared reading approaches to make grade-level texts accessible to all students, regardless of stage. Small-group resources use leveled materials to target the skills appropriate to each student’s developmental stage.
