Third through fifth grade is where readers become thinkers and writers find their voice. It is also where the gaps start to show if the foundation was not built right.

The Rising Recipes™ Full Literacy Pack gives your upper elementary students the structure, the rigor, and the scaffolding they need to grow as readers and writers without losing the joy of learning. Built on the Flavorful Foundations™ instructional framework and grounded in the Science of Reading, this pack takes students from foundational reading skills into the kind of deep comprehension and purposeful writing that prepares them for middle school and beyond.

Each reading unit includes Bridge, Core, and Support text versions so every student works with the same content at the right complexity level. Whether your students are reading at grade level, above, or below, they are all at the table and all moving forward.
