Accelerate Reading Growth
Build a solid foundation in phonics and help K–2 students become successful readers.
Saxon Phonics & Spelling was built to explicitly teach phonemic awareness, phonics, and fluency in a way that’s supported by scientific research and has been proven effective by years of classroom success.
Saxon’s approach to teaching phonics and spelling concepts is based on foundational research in the science of reading and cognitive science. Ongoing reading assessments monitor progress and ensure knowledge sticks.
A study conducted by PRES Associates, Inc. showed that students using Saxon demonstrated significant gains in reading, phonics, and spelling. The program also works for speakers of languages other than English and special education students.
Explicit instruction, a multisensory approach to learning, multiple small- and whole-group activities, hands-on games, and active learning opportunities provide students with various opportunities to build foundational skills.
Saxon Phonics & Spelling has provided a missing piece of our curricular puzzle on our elementary campuses. We now have a legitimately balanced reading instructional plan across our district that is proving to accelerate the literacy growth of our students.

Decodable Readers allow students to practice reading with confidence, while Fluency Readers give each child many opportunities to practice during whole-group reading instruction or independent reading time. Controlled vocabulary is used throughout the program so students are able to achieve automaticity.
Saxon Phonics & Spelling provides multisensory instruction to support all learning modalities and aligns with the Orton-Gillingham approach for differentiated reading instruction. All students, including those with dyslexia, receive support for ongoing success.
Not only do students learn the foundational reading skills they needed to become confident readers, they also get practice learning to manage their behavior through integrated classroom-management behavioral supports.
The relationship between reading and writing is vital to building early literacy skills. Saxon makes it easy to simultaneously teach phonics, spelling, and handwriting using a structured literacy approach with built-in instructional supports.
Explicit, systematic instruction given in small increments provides multiple opportunities for exposure. Teachers can review student progress daily, allowing them to know what students have mastered and where they might need additional support.
Targeted, small-group activities support students who are striving, on-target, or need an extra challenge, by providing an additional focus on skills that were taught during the lesson.
Phonics and spelling instruction just got a boost with Amira Learning + Saxon Phonics & Spelling. Start with Amira Learning’s oral reading fluency assessment. Then, use Amira’s recommendations for each student to teach or re-teach Saxon Phonics & Spelling content.
