Why Choose Structured Reading & Spelling (SRS)?

Reading is essential for daily life, yet many students in grades 9–12 and adults still struggle. Structured Reading and Spelling (SRS) equips instructors with the tools and strategies to effectively support these learners.
  • Research-Based Curriculum
    SRS is a research-based professional development series that empowers educators to teach older students and adults with literacy challenges. Rooted in the research based on the Science of Reading and principles of Structured Literacy, participants will learn the what, why and how of Structured Literacy instruction.
  • Targeted for High School & Adult Learners
    Neuhaus has been teaching adult learners for over 30 years and incorporated our knowledge and experience from the world of adult literacy into the development of SRS. Our program delivers practical, relevant content and explicit instruction to build foundational and functional literacy skills. With a deep understanding of how adults learn best, we’ve created a program that delivers results.
  • Comprehensive Literacy Instruction
    In every lesson, students will develop literacy skills in: understanding the structure of English, word attack skills, spelling, fluent reading, vocabulary, comprehension, and written composition.
  • Skill Mastery & Confidence Building
    SRS empowers students to gain the skills they need to become confident and proficient readers.

SRS meets students where they are with a two-track system—Standard and Accelerated—to support diverse skill levels.In SRS Professional Learning Volume 1, participants engage in four immersive days of training, exploring both the Standard and Accelerated SRS Volume 1 manuals. Educators will learn to effectively place students using the diagnostic screener, ensuring every learner gets the right start.
Accelerated Pace Volume 1: For students with basic knowledge of sound-symbol correspondence, SRS Accelerated Pace, Vol. 1 combines common concepts and moves at an “accelerated pace” to introduce & instruct more challenging concepts.

Participants in this two-day, live virtual training will deepen their understanding of foundational literacy skills, understand the impact of reduced literacy skills on adults, and learn research-based methods of instruction specific to an adult learner.
Volume 2 Accelerated: Students in Volume 2 Accelerated will build word attack strategies for multisyllabic words, understand a variety of text structures to build comprehension, expand vocabulary, and strengthen grammar for confident, effective writing.

Volume 2 Standard: Volumes 2A & 2B Standard follow a developmentally appropriate pace, guiding adult learners through all six syllable types and basic syllable division. Through shared reading experiences with the instructor, students in the Standard Pace will be exposed to rich vocabulary, strategies to build deep comprehension, and sentence construction through lessons in basic elements of grammar.

No, not currently.

Lessons typically last 45-60 minutes, though they can be adjusted based on student needs.

Yes, if instructional time is limited, lessons can be divided, but content should always follow the given sequence for optimal student progress.

The professional development provides information regarding assessment and how to use the tools embedded in the curriculum to guide instruction. Additionally, the program includes a placement screener to help determine whether a student should be placed in the Standard or Accelerated pace.

Ideally, students should receive intervention 5 days a week, with a minimum of 3-4 days.

Professional Development can be delivered as live-virtual instruction or in-person training. Volumes 3 and 4 are available in a self-paced, On-Demand format.

Because SRS is a unique curriculum that differs from other Neuhaus programs, materials can only be purchased alongside the professional development training.
