Each day, teachers are managing whole-group instruction, small-group interventions, independent practice, and progress monitoring—all while working to meet each student’s individual needs. The literacy block requires careful coordination, and planning time is often limited.
The new Lalilo Teacher Guide provides structured support: 150+ lesson plans for K–2 students that include complete instructional scripts, detailed lesson structures, materials, flexible session formats, and clear student learning outcomes.
Built on research you can trust
Lalilo is grounded in the Science of Reading, the Simple View of Reading, and Scarborough’s Reading Rope. Lalilo lessons and the Teacher Guide are research-aligned and follow evidence-based practices for foundational literacy development.
3 implementation options for the Teacher Guide
The Teacher Guide supports three instructional approaches that educators can use in the classroom.
As a core phonics program:
