Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Bridge to Reading Tutor & Homeschool Essentials Kit?

The Tutor & Homeschool Essentials Kit brings Bridge to Reading Second Edition, a comprehensive K–3 reading curriculum, into a set designed for 1:1 instruction. It includes teacher materials, one student's materials, and a one-year myHeggerty subscription, so tutors and families can start teaching right away. It is not supported for a full classroom implementation.

How is the Essentials Kit different from the classroom Standard and Small Kits?

The instructional content and intentional program design are the same. The materials included differ from the classroom kits. The Essentials Kit is sized for one student, while classroom kits include materials for up to 25 (Standard) or 15 (Small) students and includes additional classroom resources such as posters, classroom library, magnetic spell tiles, and anchor charts.

What if I am teaching more than one child?

Add one Bridge to Reading Student Set for each additional student. Student Sets include each child's own READ Books, Red Word Cards, and hands-on practice materials. All students are taught from the teacher materials in the Essentials Kit.

Do I need teaching experience to use Bridge to Reading?

No. Each lesson follows clear daily routines, and the teacher materials walk you through what to teach and how to model it. myHeggerty adds digital lesson support and embedded professional learning.

Does the Essentials Kit include digital resources?

Yes. Each Essentials Kit includes a one-year subscription to myHeggerty, which provides digital lesson support, assessment tools, instructional resources, and embedded professional learning. The subscription is renewable annually.

Does Bridge to Reading include assessments?

Yes. Bridge to Reading includes embedded assessments to help teachers monitor student progress and make informed instructional decisions. Assessment tools are also available through myHeggerty, giving teachers easy access to data that supports differentiation and intervention planning.

Is Bridge to Reading aligned to the Science of Reading?

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.

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.
