What grade levels is Bridge to Reading designed for?

Bridge to Reading is designed for Kindergarten through Grade 3. Each grade level follows a systematic scope and sequence that builds foundational skills over time, helping students move from early sound-letter connections to more accurate, fluent, and meaningful reading.

How does Bridge to Reading support differentiated instruction?

Bridge to Reading includes practical differentiation supports within daily and weekly instruction. Teachers receive guidance for reinforcing skills, extending learning, supporting multilingual learners and English language learners, and using assessment information to make instructional decisions.

Does Bridge to Reading include digital resources?

Yes. Bridge to Reading is grounded in the Science of Reading — the body of research on how students learn to read. The program delivers explicit, systematic instruction across the five pillars of foundational literacy: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Every lesson is designed to build the skills that research consistently identifies as essential for reading success.

Does Bridge to Reading include assessments?

How does Bridge to Reading connect to Bridge to Writing?

Bridge to Reading and Bridge to Writing are designed as companion programs that work together to build a complete foundational literacy experience. While each program can be used independently, together they provide students with explicit instruction in both reading and writing — reinforcing skills across both disciplines and giving teachers a cohesive, research-aligned approach to early literacy.
