IGNITED LITERACY OPENS SOON
Create An Engaging Literacy Program Your Students Will Love
ALL YEAR LONG
Without the stress, disorganization or overwhelmed feelings of starting from scratch.
If Teaching Language Arts in Your Canadian Gr. 3-6 Classroom Was Easy…
YOUR READING AND WRITING LESSONS WOULD WORK TOGETHER.
you could have lessons that just made sense. Your reading lesson could seamlessly flow into your writing lesson. Even your spelling words could be connected to what is happening in the rest of your language program. Everything would finally just make sense.
YOU WOULD HAVE ALL YOUR WEEKLY RESOURCES IN ONE PLACE
Each week you had one place to look and get everything you needed to meet the needs of all your students. Know the books you needed to use to cover your expectations and have the matching shared and guided reading texts for all your students at your finger tips.
YOU COULD KEEP KIDS EASILY ENGAGED IN EVERY LESSON.
Your students begged you for more time to read and write every single day. You never had to worry about what your early finishers would do when they are done because they were constantly engaged, on task and knew what to do without you needing to lift a finger.
ALL OF YOUR STUDENTS WOULD BE WORKING AT THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.
You could have one lesson that worked for most of your students in a way that made modifying and accommodating for your neediest students simple and manageable. Students could all work at their own pace and monitor their individual learning goals.
If you had the time, the resources and the roadmap you could finally focus more on building strong readers and writers and NOT just on gathering stuff for your next lesson.
You could actually focus on all these high yield strategies
What if you could...
- Fit Reading and writing together in a way that makes sense
- Meet the needs of all your students without doubling or tripling your workload.
- Actually have time to do more guided reading and student teacher conferences.
- Have engaging and differentiated student centres that had your students cheering instead of groaning over the activities you planned.
- Have a complete plan in place that walked you through what to teach when with high quality resources without the prep, planning, and frustration.

Literacy Assessment
Ignited Literacy is designed to give you real, timely and accurate data on where your students are in their literacy development. With a focus on skills development that is individualized for your students without the burden of designing a unique program for each student. teachers are looking for ways to simplify their assessment so they don't spend all of their free time marking and tracking student data. By Using a three pronged approach through triangulating your data teachers can collect 2/3 of the data they need on their students during the instructional day therefore reducing what they need to take home.
