Read 1, Speak 2, Write 3
The Read 1, Speak 2, Write 3 activity provides a systematic way to teach three essential skills: silent reading, academic speaking, and summary writing. This activity asks students to read a passage of text, discuss what they have read, and summarize the main ideas in the passage. The activity creates a great pace for reading and ensures our students are engaging in student interaction every three to five minutes.

Explicitly Teach: Explain. Connect. Model. Practice.
Cycle of Independence: I do. We do. They do. You do.

Literacy Standards In Action
We've mapped our literacy lessons and reading, speaking, and writing skills to state standards, Common Core, and NGSS. The standards are "the what" to teach. Our lessons are "the how" to meet the expectations defined by the standards. Click on the links below to view our quick reference table that maps standards to literacy lessons.
