STRIVE’s K–3 Science of Reading

Build Foundational Skills. Close Early Gaps. Teach Every Child to Read.

The Problem You want every child to become a confident, capable reader. But real barriers stand in the way. Time is tight. You’re juggling classroom demands, assessments, and new initiatives—and finding time for deep, high-impact professional learning feels impossible.
Most training doesn’t connect to your reality. You’re asked to implement new strategies, but they rarely align with the assessments, curriculum, or intervention resources your school is already using. You want to do what’s right for students, but you need support that’s flexible, relevant, and built around your classroom needs. And without structured support, it’s easy to miss early gaps—or to teach without a clear plan for how all the parts fit together.
The Solution That’s why we designed STRIVE’s K–3 Science of Reading Course to work with your schedule and your system. ✔️ Flexible learning formats — complete the course independently, with a partner, or as a study group. Choose from self-paced modules, in-person sessions, or live virtual learning.
✔️ Aligned to your tools — our Data-Based Decision Making module helps teachers work with their own student data, assessments, and resources to plan instruction that fits their school context. ✔️ Built for real classrooms — every module includes ready-to-use routines, scaffolds, and examples to save you time and strengthen instruction right away. We don’t just teach the Science of Reading—we help you use it with the students and materials you already have.

What You’ll Learn: A Step-by-Step Path

Our course follows a logical, research-based progression designed to move learning into real results.

Data-Based Decision Making

Start by learning how to use your student data to set instructional priorities, identify skill gaps, and group students flexibly.
➡️ This step sets the foundation for everything else you’ll learn.

🔍 The Essential Components of Reading

Each core module builds critical K–3 instructional skills:

Phonological Awareness
Learn how to assess and explicitly teach early sound skills like blending and segmenting to support beginning readers.

Phonics and Word Work
Gain tools to teach decoding and encoding skills, especially for students who need extra support to master foundational skills.

Fluency Development
Strengthen reading rate, accuracy, and expression with evidence-based strategies, helping students not yet meeting grade-level benchmarks.

Vocabulary and Oral Language
Build word knowledge and rich language experiences using direct and embedded vocabulary strategies that enhance comprehension.

Reading Comprehension
Teach students how to understand, discuss, and deeply engage with texts through purposeful comprehension instruction tied to grade-level standards and thinking critically about text.

✨ Bonus Modules

Understanding Dyslexia
Recognize early signs, use effective screeners, and implement structured literacy interventions to meet the needs of students with dyslexia.

Writing in Response to Reading
Learn how to build comprehension and language skills through scaffolded, purposeful writing tasks tied directly to what students are reading.
