Help Your Students Bridge the Gap From Practice to Mastery

Even the most effective structured literacy instruction needs a bridge to meaningful, lasting learning.

The 5CCL Activity Library gives you the targeted activities to help your students generalize skills, stay engaged, and achieve long-term success.

You've provided the instruction exactly as you were supposed to and yet some of your students may not make the connection to “real reading.”

It’s not because you’ve missed something! Even with the best systematic, explicit strategies, students need help applying these skills to authentic texts and across content areas.

To ensure skills generalize beyond our lessons, we must show students exactly how to use them in the real world!

Don’t let the skills you’ve so masterfully taught fade away, preventing your students from reaching their full potential.

With the help of the 5 Core Components of Literacy Activity Library, you’ll have everything you need to…

Science of Reading (SOR) aligned activities in 5CCL.

Target Specific Skill Gaps

Access a wide range of activities and games that seamlessly pair with any curriculum, allowing you to progress monitor and target the literacy skills your students need more practice with.
