Supplemental

Builds essential vocabulary skills for students in grades K–12 through research-based, direct academic instruction. Robust activities and differentiated instruction empower students to have successful encounters with grade-level vocabulary.
Supplemental
Megawords

Intervention
EPS Reading Assistant for SPIRE
Provides K–8 students with adaptive reading practice that accelerates literacy gains. This AI-driven tutor uses voice-recognition technology, and delivers real-time personalized feedback and micro-interventions as students read independently, letting educators spend more time on focused teaching.
Supplemental
SPIRE Next™
Strengthens the reading comprehension skills of grade 3–12 students and moves them toward grade-level using direct reading instruction and scaffolded practice. Three close-read opportunities within each lesson build student comprehension; literary or genre skills; and critical thinking.
Ancillary
Decodable Readers
Reinforce phonics skills and take readers from decoding to fluency and reading comprehension. Our engaging collections of readers build self-confidence as they help grade K–8 students develop a love for reading
