The heart of our instructional approach is a kit called Word Revelation with 36 activities designed for teachers to use with any students, from about age 7 to adult.  These activities can be used to help struggling readers establish new habits that will contribute to skilled word recognition, fluency, comprehension, spelling, and writing.  Word Revelation activities can also be used to teach students to read initially if they already know most letter names and consonant sounds.

A Word Revelation kit is included with participation in a Word Revelation workshop; additional kits are available to order after participation in a Word Revelation workshop.

For teachers of pre-readers, Logos workshops help teachers provide their students with foundational literacy knowledge and skills, such as letter names and sounds, handwriting, phoneme awareness, and the alphabetic principle. Logos provides optional preparation for students who will go on to Word Revelation activities.

A binder of Logos materials is provided as part of a Logos workshop; additional binders are available to order after participation in a Logos workshop.

For teachers of students who have completed Word Revelation (or are fluent readers), Dive to Rise workshops provide teachers with activities and simple frameworks to help their students continue to apply decoding skills as they read texts in order to improve their automaticity and spelling. Additional activities help students apply comprehension strategies when reading, recognize the structure of the language in texts they read, and use their knowledge of language structures to guide their writing.
