A downloadable, digital document containing curriculum materials for a specific reading program intended for kindergarten-level instruction. It typically includes lesson plans, student worksheets, assessment tools, and other resources necessary to implement the reading program effectively. For example, a teacher might use it to guide instruction on phonemic awareness, phonics, and early reading comprehension skills.
Such resources are important because they provide a structured approach to literacy education for young learners. The systematic and explicit instruction often found in these programs can be beneficial for building foundational reading skills. Historically, structured reading programs have been developed to address concerns about reading achievement and to provide teachers with research-based instructional strategies.
