Each manual follows a sequential, systematic order of introduction. Concepts build upon each other. Easier concepts are taught first and then progress to more complex concepts.

Scripted Lessons

To provide clear guidance for instructors, lessons 1-20 in SRS Standard Pace and SRS Accelerated Pace are fully scripted. Each lesson provides step-by-step instructions, prepared text for instructional time, and sample student answers.

Cumulative Review and Practice

Lessons are designed to reinforce concepts through repeated practice and review, ensuring mastery before progressing to new topics.

Why Choose SRS?

The ability to read is crucial for basic, daily tasks and yet so many students in 9-12, as well as adults, struggle. Structured Reading & Spelling prepares the instructor with the knowledge and pedagogical understanding to meet the needs of this unique learner.
