Middle school students are not the problem. Disconnected curriculum is.

The Learning Pantry™ Full Literacy Pack meets middle schoolers where they are, with texts that feel relevant, writing that has real purpose, and instruction that respects their intelligence while building the skills they still need. Built on the Flavorful Foundations™ instructional framework and grounded in the Science of Reading, this pack gives your grades 6-8 students a complete literacy experience that challenges without overwhelming and supports without patronizing.

Each reading unit includes Bridge, Core, and Support text versions so every learner in your classroom engages with the same rigorous content at the complexity level that serves them best.
