Instructional Practices
Evidence-Based Approach
Well-Designed, Structured Lessons
Launch to Literacy provides step-by-step lessons that are carefully designed to teach reading in a clear, organized way. Each lesson ensures students build skills in a logical sequence.
Integrate Content and Language
The program teaches both essential reading skills and English Language development at the same time. Students learn how to read while expanding their vocabulary and understanding of English.
Vocabulary and Language Support
Every lesson includes vocabulary to improve comprehension and expose students to rich, meaningful language. This helps learners understand both content and context.
Feedback and Error Correction
Teachers using Launch to Literacy provide ongoing feedback on both reading skills and language use. The program helps identify predictable language errors and guides students toward correct usage.
“I am so excited to see the progress that our EL students are making. I have a sixth-grader that I’m working with who is literally killing it with his progress. This kid knows his digraphs and can segment and blend like a professional!!!”
