What Educators Are Saying About Our Phonics & Writing Programs!

"I love this program! My kids know exactly what to expect at phonics time! I love that everything (phonological awareness, phonemes, high-frequency words and reading) is all taught together and that it's so easy to integrate with writing. This program is the one thing I never skip - we do it every single day. This program has been a game changer for my class!"

- Lynne G.

"I cannot say enough great things about FSTS! It is comprehensive and systematic, and the lesson plans are detailed and easy to use. My kids love the decodable passages, and all of my students have made so much progress this year! I've even seen lots of transference of skills to their writing as well. We are closing the gap, and this program is the reason why!!"

- Caralyn L.

"I've used this program all year with amazing results. I'm an experienced teacher with an Orton Gillingham background, but I'm in a new position in this super challenging year. This program has saved my sanity! The results are exceptional, and my kids are making unprecedented progress. It's worth every penny, and Alison's support is excellent!"

"I taught Kindergarten for 13 years, and this was my "writing lesson" Bible. I was just moved to 1st grade (virtual learning). I love how systematic this writing instruction is. My students wrote their first full narrative last week, and they were amazing! Students have also used the rubric to score themselves on how well they did on their first independent narrative writing. The materials are so easy to understand. Love these resources to the MAX!"

- Marissa M.

"This curriculum has laid the foundation for my writer's workshop in my urban, k-2 classroom where there is zero curriculum. The lessons are easy to follow, thorough, and detailed! As a first year teacher, it has been a lifesaver, because I don't have to second guess myself with these lessons! My students are so engaged in the lessons and having CHOICE in their own writing. Great product and worth every penny...my students have grown SO much!"

- Cassidy P.

"Everything you need for teaching writing! Detailed lessons, posters, rubrics, sample writing, and more. This is great for teachers who are looking for a complete writing curriculum for the year. Our reading series has mediocre writing lessons, at best. This helps my students enjoy writing and become confident, capable writers!"
