Reading Mastery: "Reading Mastery is a complete basal reading program that uses the Direct Instruction method to help students master essential decoding and comprehension skills. The program places particular emphasis on teaching thinking skills and helping students acquire background knowledge. Program materials include fully scripted lessons to guide teachers through carefully constructed instructional steps - modeling new content, providing guided practice, offering individualized practice and applying skills. It also utilizes a special orthography designed to assist students identify letter sounds. The special font is later phased out and replaced with traditional orthography. Signals and group responses are used to keep students involved, help them stay on task and help with lesson pacing. Teachers assess student performance throughout the program, and struggling students receive practice through remedial exercises. Each level of the program typically spans one academic year. A typical 30- to 45-minute lesson includes seven to nine short activities encompassing multiple strands of content including:
Phonemic Awareness
Letter-Sound Correspondence
Sounding Out of Words
Word Recognition
Vocabulary
Oral Reading Fluency
Comprehension"
Read Naturally: "Read Naturally's research-based reading interventions have helped millions of students become fluent readers and make solid gains in comprehension and vocabulary."
Edmark: "The Edmark Reading Program has long helped students who need an alternative to phonics learn to read. Th e key to this success is the program’s use of a carefully sequenced, highly repetitive word recognition method combined with errorless learning. Th e program motivates students by breaking learning into steps that ensure that even the poorest readers achieve over 90% accuracy. Th is approach eliminates incorrect responses and helps students view themselves as readers. Th e Edmark Reading Program ensures success to students of all ages who have not yet mastered beginning reading. Students with a variety of diff erences and disabilities (e.g., students with developmental disability, intellectual disability, autism, hearing impairment, reading disability, or learning disability; learners of English as a second language) learn to read using the Edmark Reading Program. Edmark Reading Program serves as the sole reading program for many students or as a supplement to a phonics-based or other type of reading program. Students from preschool through adulthood are successful with the Edmark Reading Program."

Connecting Math Concepts: "Connecting Math Concepts introduces ideas gradually and teaches students the connections between concepts. Focusing on the big ideas of mathematics, Connecting Math Concepts teaches explicit strategies that enable students to master difficult ideas such as ratios, proportions, probability, functions, and data analysis. Detailed explanations and guided practice move students toward independent work, ensuring that they gain success and confidence as mathematical thinkers. "

Bridges in Mathematics: "Bridges in Mathematics is a comprehensive PK–5 curriculum that equips teachers to fully implement the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics in a manner that is rigorous, coherent, engaging, and accessible to all learners. The curriculum focuses on developing students’ deep understandings of mathematical concepts, proficiency with key skills, and ability to solve complex and novel problems. Bridges blends direct instruction, structured investigation, and open exploration. It taps into the intelligence and strengths of all students by presenting material that is as linguistically, visually, and kinesthetically rich as it is mathematically powerful."

Handwriting Without Tears: "Handwriting is a critical skill. It builds a solid foundation for school success. Research shows that handwriting is a foundational skill that can influence student’s reading, writing, language use, and critical thinking. It has an important role in brain development, is necessary alongside technology in the classroom, and promotes success in other academic subjects. Handwriting Without Tears works and is a proven success preparing children for the demands of school. We analyzed test scores from the Screener of Handwriting Proficiency for more than 14,000 students using Handwriting Without Tears over three years. Results demonstrate the success of the curriculum."
Step Up to Writing: "Step Up to Writing helps students understand the importance of each step of the writing process. Beginning writers explicitly learn and practice each phase of the writing process. As students become more advanced writers, they move back and forth between the phases, and the process becomes more fluid and automatic."
Bal-A-Vis-X: "Bal-A-Vis-X is a series of some 300 exercises, most of which are done with sand-filled bags and/or racquetballs, often while standing on a Bal-A-Vis-X balance board. Requiring multiple thousands of mid-line crossings in three dimensions, these exercises are steadily rhythmic, with a pronounced auditory foundation, executed at a pace that naturally results from proper physical techniques. Bal-A-Vis-X enables the whole mind-body system to experience the symmetrical flow of a pendulum. This carefully modulated system of exercises can become increasingly complex OR increasingly simplified/modified for those with severe special needs. In group (school) settings the program demands cooperation, promotes self-challenge, fosters peer teaching."
STAR: "The STAR Program includes detailed lesson plans, teaching materials, data systems and a curriculum-based assessment for teaching in the six curricular areas of receptive language, expressive language, spontaneous language, functional routines, academics, and play & social skills.
Benefits include:
Uses evidence-based instructional practices

Math-U-See: "Math-U-See is designed to teach students specific skills that build as the student progresses. This systematic and cumulative approach uses a definite, logical sequence of concept instruction. The Math-U-See system is structured with step-by-step procedures for introducing, reviewing, practicing, and mastering concepts. Each lesson teaches using multi-sensory tools such as videos, manipulatives, and other resources, designed to appeal to any type of learner. With these resources, we are able to adapt to a variety of homeschool styles."
