Literacy Toolkits

We understand how busy educators are. LMC’s Building Block Toolkits make teaching and learning easier and allow you to focus squarely on your students’ skills, passions and abilities.

We are proud to offer four different Building Block Toolkits. Each one serves as a simple tool for the complex work of educating students and creating sustainable change.

Our Premiere Building Block Toolkit is for educators who have previously or are currently collaborating with LMC. This toolkit will help you follow up on our work in impactful ways. Every educator in your school or district will be given access to all of the materials. The Premiere Building Block Toolkit includes:

  • Explanations for the Three Building Blocks of Literacy

  • Ready to use instructional tools (such as daily schedules, instructional checklists, and center/seat work) that will assist you in integrating grammar, vocabulary and phonics into daily instruction.

  • Ready to use planning tools (templates for individual units, small group work as well as district/school wide curriculum)

  • Leadership tools (follow up templates, links to videos and professional articles) that you can use to build teacher’s knowledge and spark joy in classrooms. The topics addressed include phonemic awareness/phonics, fluency, handwriting, assessment, vocabulary, grammar, writing, reading comprehension, and reading intervention
