Have you ever heard your students say - “…the reading we do with you isn’t real reading.”

You’ve taught them all the phonics patterns. You’ve worked through all of the fluency passages and PA drills. And yet, students aren’t generalizing their knowledge. They’re struggling to see the relevance of the work you’re doing.

We’ve definitely been there before too. Now, we are sharing how we use authentic texts in our structured literacy lessons to help make lessons feel more like “real” reading for students.
