It’s time to start connecting your literacy instruction.
Learn how to use simple literacy routines to bring phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, writing, and executive functioning together so your instruction actually flows.
You’re already teaching the right skills.
The missing piece is how they connect.
Most impact-driven educators aren’t missing strategies.
They’re missing an easy way to help students see how the skills they’re learning work together in real reading and writing.
When each skill lives in its own separate part of the lesson, students learn the pieces but struggle to put them together.
Think about tying your shoes.
At some point, you learned each step separately. But because you practiced the same process over and over, it became automatic. You could do it in the dark at 3:00 AM without thinking about it. That’s what a literacy routine builds. A simple, repeatable process that students practice until the skills connect and become second nature.
You already have all the pieces.
These routines help you put them together.
SMARTER Literacy Routines give literacy instruction a simple structure.
Instead of treating each literacy skill as a separate strategy, routines provide a repeatable process that helps skills work together.
Each routine helps students understand:
Why each skill matters and how it connects to the other skills they’re learning
How to think and problem-solve through the reading and writing process independently.
And instruction becomes more cohesive, predictable, and easier to sustain.
Plus: You’ll earn 2 PD credit hours for completing this training.
Everything you need to start using the routines with your students.
➡️ Quick trainings (5–10 min each) for all seven routines. I walk through how each routine fits into what you’re already doing. Watch one during a planning period or all of them in one sitting.
➡️ Printable anchor charts for every routine. Put them on your board so students can see the process and follow it until it becomes automatic.
➡️ Student handouts and classroom examples. Print and use the same day. No building from scratch.
➡️ Step-by-step implementation guidance. See what each routine looks like so you know exactly how to model it.
Start with routines. Build from there.
You don’t need to overhaul your literacy block. You just need an easier way to help the skills you’re already teaching work together. This training gives you the routines, the tools, and the structure to make that happen.
