Why teachers use these
Why Tennessee teachers use these
Since the Foundational Literacy Skills Plan and the third-grade reading law, almost everything in a Tennessee elementary room is measured through reading. Social studies and science still have to be taught, and they are the first things squeezed out of the day. These units carry the content and the literacy work together: students read, annotate and write about the topic, and you get four levels of the same text-based task instead of one worksheet that fits nobody.
What's covered
What each unit includes
Enough to teach the topic Monday through Friday without building anything yourself.
- Worksheets at four reading levels
- Editable slides for whole-class teaching
- Answer keys for fast marking
- Timed lesson plan
- Printable and digital copies
Make it work for everyone
Differentiation and RTI² documentation
Tennessee's tiered intervention model asks for evidence, not impressions. Handing one topic out at four levels means every child produces written work you can date and file, and the lower tiers reduce reading load without thinning the content. Edit the Word files to shorten a task or add a challenge question when a student changes tiers.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Are these aligned to the Tennessee Academic Standards?
They are not reviewed, approved or endorsed by the Tennessee Department of Education, and they appear on no state adoption list. They are written to the concepts and skills the standards cover, so they map onto topics in your pacing guide. Preview first, then edit the files to match your standard codes.
How do these fit with the foundational literacy block?
They work best as the content-area reading that follows it. Students meet the topic through a passage, answer text-dependent questions and write a short response, so the decoding and fluency work gets applied to real content. The four levels let below-grade readers stay with the class instead of being pulled to something else.
Can our whole grade level share one purchase?
No. A purchase covers the buyer's own classroom, so you can use it with every section you teach and again next year, but each teacher who wants a copy needs their own download. Some schools buy several at once for a team. The files are not meant to live on a shared drive.
