Presented by Maria Baldarelli and Bonnie Singer
Join us for a guided look at our new Fundations® Levels 4-5, designed to support advanced foundational reading skills through Structured Literacy instruction in upper elementary classrooms. This session will walk through how the program’s materials, lesson structure, and instructional supports work together in daily practice to simplify routines and support effective teaching. You’ll see how lessons are organized and what instruction looks like in the classroom — from planning to delivery — through a guided walkthrough and lesson demo.

“Fundations is not just a resource; it’s a transformative tool that empowers both our teachers and students, making learning an exciting and FUN journey.”​
Rose M.
Coordinator of Teaching and Learning, Centennial School District, Pennsylvania​
“I’ve taught Fundations with fidelity for the past four years, never skipping a day of instruction. Over time, I have seen a positive impact on my end-of-year benchmark data—last year, 95% of my students performed at or above benchmark!”
Sandra L.
Kindergarten Teacher, Chandler Unified School District, Arizona
“We’ve been using Fundations in K-3 for five years. We greatly appreciate the materials, clear instructor guidance, and the way our students are learning to read. I love Fundations and the confidence it gives educators to teach explicitly and effectively.”
Kristin S.
Head of School, Wilkinson School, California ​
"The scope and sequence covers all the foundational skills for 4th grade standards. Students struggle with sentence meaning and writing—and the sentence instruction targets those needs beautifully. I love the focus on vocabulary and connections to connected text.”
Mallory P.
Elementary Literacy Instructional Support Specialist, Santa Barbara Unified School District, California
“Fundations works! Students light up when they recognize a digraph or glued sound and proudly carry these skills into other subjects. Their curiosity grows right alongside their confidence. By the end of the year, they’re not just learning—they’re thriving.”
Angela G.
Intervention Specialist, Hardyston Township School District, New Jersey​
