High-Leverage Instructional Routines Toolkit

CESA 6 Literacy has created a product as a one stop shop for structured literacy! Our High-Leverage Instructional Routines Toolkit aligns with and supports both the Word Recognition and the Language Comprehension components of the Reading Rope for Skilled Reading. These routines are game-changers when it comes to supporting both whole-class instruction and targeted interventions. 

As part of the toolkit, you will receive dozens of high-leverage routines. Each routine follows an explicit, predictable format so that students can experience direct instruction, teacher modeling, engaging in the practice, and receiving feedback. You will also receive CESA 6’s Assessment Decision-Making Guide to help you prioritize skills for intervention, and align targeted instruction with the high-leverage routines that work best. Lesson planning tools and resources will aid you in the careful and intentional planning needed for targeted instruction.

"The use of high-leverage routines to target instruction are super supportive for our educators. Teachers have confidence in aligning specific routines to areas of student need based upon screening data."
