When reviewing curricula for Tier I instruction, it is essential to ensure they do not include instructional practices that are not aligned with the scientific evidence base of how children learn to read.
The Curriculum Evaluation Guidelines are designed to highlight any non-aligned practices, or “red flags,” that may be present in the areas of:
- Word Recognition (phonological and phonemic awareness, phonics and phonic decoding)
- Language Comprehension (background knowledge, vocabulary, knowledge of language structures, verbal reasoning, literacy knowledge)
- Writing (handwriting, spelling, composition)
- Fluency, Reading Comprehension, & Assessment
As The Reading League has recently published the Curriculum Navigation Reports, we will also briefly discuss this resource. For more information: https://www.thereadingleague.org/compass/
