In Tandem Kindergarten launches young students into literacy using a research-based approach, engaging books, and extensive multisensory materials. The easy-to-follow lesson plans guide teachers step-by-step in delivering effective instructional practices. A tightly woven scope and sequence ensures students build the letter-sound correspondence and spelling-pattern knowledge needed for strong decoding and encoding skills. These lesson plans are designed around a phonics focus and a comprehension focus, allowing teachers to confidently deliver high-quality explicit instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, writing, and fluency that meets kindergarten expectations and standards. The Reading and Writing Activity Books make lesson preparation fast and easy for teachers and provide students with opportunities to revisit and practice new skills.
