Supplemental Literacy PK-3
Core reading programs often leave key foundational skills underdeveloped. Supplemental instruction reinforces the core with targeted lessons that accelerate reading growth.
Most core programs introduce foundational skills, but introduction alone isn’t enough for mastery. Students need repeated, intentional practice to move from exposure to true proficiency. When key early literacy skills receive only brief coverage, young readers struggle to build accuracy, confidence, and fluency. Supplemental instruction fills these gaps with the consistency and depth that core programs often cannot provide.
Supplemental foundational support is critical. Many core programs do not fully address all aspects of foundational reading or oral language, leaving gaps that impact literacy. Strengthening oral language alongside foundational skills helps students move beyond decoding to making meaning, supporting long-term reading success.
RGR has earned positive independent reviews from organizations including EdReports and The Reading League, helping districts validate that instruction aligns with the Science of Reading. These reviews examine whether programs provide explicit, systematic, research-based instruction and the depth needed to build strong foundational literacy skills.
Third-party evaluations give district leaders greater confidence that RGR supports effective teaching, aligned implementation, and measurable student growth.
RGR strengthens every layer of early literacy—connecting oral language, phonics, morphology, vocabulary, and fluency through explicit, systematic instruction. Our cohesive approach ensures consistency across classrooms and accelerates measurable student growth.
The RGR Difference:

- Reduces planning time with ready-to-teach lessons and consistent routines.
- Supports diverse learners with embedded scaffolds and multimodal instruction.
- Simplifies whole-class and small-group instruction with clear diagnostics and grouping tools.
- Strengthens outcomes for English Learners through oral language and structured phonics instruction.
RGR’s programs consistently meet the highest standards for literacy instruction:
- EdReports awarded RGR all green, near-perfect scores for alignment, usability, and instructional quality
- Evidence for ESSA recognizes RGR programs for demonstrated improvements in student literacy outcomes
- ESSA Tier II studies show RGR programs accelerate student progress across classrooms
- The Reading League's review found no “red flags” across the skills RGR's programs target
- Rivet Education certifies RGR in the Professional Learning Partner Guide for high-quality educator PD
RGR partners with districts to ensure every implementation leads to meaningful results. Our professional learning helps educators deliver clear, systematic instruction aligned to the Science of Reading. Through coaching, digital resources, and ongoing support, we help schools build a coherent instructional approach with aligned lessons and embedded progress monitoring for sustained success.
