ERSB (Early Reading Skills Builder) — is the next step for students who have mastered early literacy foundational skills and are ready to learn to read.

Read & Tell 2 — the adapted literature collection follows a 13-step framework to teach grade-level ELA standards to middle school students with moderate-to-severe disabilities.

Teaching to Standards: ELA — provides materials at three literacy levels: object/photo, symbols, and text. Skill areas include persuasive writing, elements of story grammar, and research endeavors.

Genres include fiction, nonfiction, plays, and poetry. Teaching to Standards: ELA Curriculum Plus is included.
