Implementation Services

Adopting a comprehensive literacy curriculum such as The Superkids Reading Program is an important and long-term commitment. Superkids schools find that success begins with the following on-site implementation services to increase understanding of program materials and instructional methodology.

Implementation Training*

An in-person or webinar implementation training is provided for each grade level. Participants engage in lessons and learn the effective, evidence-based instructional strategies of the program. Teachers and support personnel leave prepared to implement Superkids and use all program materials.

Coaching Visits*

Coaching visits provide one-on-one support for each teacher. The classroom visit can include lesson feedback as well as discussion on topics chosen by the teacher—focusing on best practices for maximum results. During the day or after school, the coach may meet with administrators, support staff, and groups of teachers. Each day of on-site coaching accommodates up to three teachers.

Administrator Training*

This session or webinar provides an overview of the entire Superkids K–2 program, equipping administrators with an understanding of the research basis of Superkids and best classroom practices.

*These services may be complimentary or discounted during the first year of a K–2 adoption. Some restrictions apply.
