SRA FLEX LITERACY™ IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE 3
SRA FLEX Literacy™ can serve as a temporary intensive intervention program or it can
be used to support a basic literacy program in today’s schools. As a temporary intensive
intervention program, SRA FLEX Literacy™ offers three literacy experiences in concert
that are designed to address standards in reading (foundational, literature, and
informational), writing, speaking and listening, and language. The Digital Experience
involves 25 minutes of individualized reading instruction in which skills are taught using
a gradual release of responsibility instructional model. The Print Experience includes
25 minutes of small group work centered on vocabulary and text-comprehension
strategies; students learn to read with a pencil as they access and discuss text. Finally,
The Project Experience includes 40 minutes of focused work in writing, researching, and
speaking and listening skills. Students develop projects that promote 21st Century
college and career readiness skills. Each Experience in the program contains at least
180 days of instruction.
As a support to a basic literacy program, teachers may choose to implement only The
Digital Experience, for example. In this way, students receive focused and individualized
instruction in reading (foundational, literature, and informational text) and language.
Students receive this 25 minutes of supplemental instruction in addition to their general
education literacy instruction. The program is flexible to allow teachers to implement the
Experiences as needed.
