New year, new literacy routines
Back-to-school season is the perfect time to establish strong literacy routines. Teachers are balancing whole-group instruction, small-group support, independent practice, and progress monitoring from day one—all while getting to know each student’s strengths and needs. The Lalilo Teacher Guide helps educators begin the year with structured, research-aligned support that reduces planning time and builds confidence in foundational literacy instruction.
Helping educators see every student
Grounded in the Science of Reading, the Simple View of Reading, and Scarborough’s Rope, the Teacher Guide supports Renaissance’s commitment to helping educators See Every Student. By connecting Lalilo’s digital practice, skill data, and ready-to-teach lessons, educators can better understand where students are, respond with the right support, and create a clearer path from foundational skill-building to measurable literacy growth.
A ready-to-teach guide for foundational literacy
The Lalilo Teacher Guide includes 150+ lesson plans for K–2 students with complete instructional scripts, detailed lesson structures, materials, flexible session formats, and clear student learning outcomes.
Teachers can use the guide in several flexible ways to support literacy instruction at back-to-school and throughout the year:
- As a core phonics program to establish a consistent, comprehensive K–2 scope and sequence.
- To supplement existing curriculum with additional practice, reinforcement, and ready-to-use lesson support.
- For targeted intervention based on student needs identified in Lalilo’s data dashboard, helping teachers respond quickly to early skill gaps.
Improving student outcomes from the start
Students using Lalilo with fidelity gained an additional nine weeks of learning beyond expected growth, and 30% gained an additional half year of learning. As students return to the classroom, the Teacher Guide helps educators take advantage of everything Lalilo has to offer by pairing digital practice with ready-to-use lessons that support consistent, research-based instruction.
