At Readable English, we know there’s no one-size-fits-all solution in education. That’s why we designed our program to be as adaptable as it is effective. Whether you’re a classroom teacher, a school administrator, or a district leader, our flexible implementation options ensure that Readable English can meet your specific needs, seamlessly integrating into your existing curriculum and schedule.
Every school, teacher, and student body is unique. The flexibility of Readable English empowers educators to address a wide variety of challenges - from supporting Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention students to strengthening general classroom literacy instruction.
Whether you're working with struggling readers, multilingual learners, or aiming to boost overall fluency and comprehension across a grade level, Readable English adapts to your goals without requiring an overhaul of your existing instructional framework.
Readable English offers three primary implementation models to fit different instructional environments:
For general education classrooms, Readable English can be used as a core resource. Teachers can integrate the program into their daily literacy block, using our structured lessons and tools to elevate reading skills for all students, not just those who are struggling.
This model is ideal for:
Building foundational reading skills in early grades, with a focus on phonics and phonemic awareness initially, then fluency, vocabulary and comprehension
Supporting consistent reading growth across an entire class
Schools looking to align instruction with the Science of Reading
Readable English is a powerful tool for MTSS and RTI frameworks. Teachers or interventionists can use it in small-group settings to target students with specific reading deficits, providing intensive support that accelerates growth.
This approach is perfect for:
Tier 2 or Tier 3 reading interventions
Students who have not responded to other reading programs
English learners needing phonics and decoding support
With our easy-to-use digital platform, Readable English can be delivered as a self-paced online program. This is an excellent option for schools with limited staffing or students needing additional support outside regular class hours.
Great for:
Older students
Independent or asynchronous learning
After-school programs or summer learning initiatives
No matter how you implement Readable English, we make it simple to get started. Our onboarding includes teacher training, guided lesson plans, and ongoing support. Plus, our real-time progress tracking makes it easy to monitor growth and adjust instruction as needed.
Visit our Schools to learn more about how Readable English can work in your school or district. Whether you’re teaching elementary or supporting middle and high school students who need a second chance at reading success, we’re here to help you make it happen.
