- Structured Language Basics (SLB) is Structured Literacy training which provides second and third grade teachers with a multisensory scripted reading curriculum that meets the needs of a variety of students, from reading-disabled to gifted.
- SLB features instruction in phonological awareness, phonics, oral reading fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, grammar, handwriting, and spelling. Each lesson contains a decodable story for fluency development and assessment. Periodic student assessments occur every 15-20 lessons. Complement it with your favorite basal, guided-reading, or authentic literature for a supercharged literacy block.
- SLB includes in-depth instruction on advanced syllable division and root-and-affix instruction to prepare students to confidently attack multisyllabic words, and grammar instruction to help students develop strong sentence writing skills, which lead to strong paragraph composition.
- Teachers who take SLB are able to access our SLB Support page that is full of helpful instructional videos, curriculum resources, and supplemental materials.
