What grade levels does Readers In Rhyme cover?

Readers In Rhyme spans Pre-K through Grade 3 (ages 4–8). The curriculum has four levels: Pre-K/Kindergarten (Goldenrod books 1–10 and Apricot books 11–20), Level 1 (Teal 21–30 and Olive 31–40), Level 2 (Bluebonnet 41–50 and Plum 51–60), and Level 3 (Silver 61–70 and Cherry 71–80). Each level corresponds to the phonogram range appropriate for that grade.

Is Readers In Rhyme aligned to Orton-Gillingham?

Yes. Readers In Rhyme is built on Orton-Gillingham (OG) methodology: color-coded phonograms (red for vowels, blue for consonants), multisensory activities, a sequential and mastery-based scope and sequence, and scripted open-and-go lesson plans. Free alignment guides are available for Spalding, Logic of English, UFLI Foundations, and Literacy Essentials at readersinrhyme.com/riralignment.

Can Readers In Rhyme be used for Tier 3 MTSS or RTI intervention?

Yes. The OG-aligned, scripted lessons make Readers In Rhyme appropriate for intensive intervention. Intervention Kits bundling the ELA Teacher Guide and Reader Set are available for each level. Students begin at the level that matches their current phonogram knowledge, not their chronological grade, making the program suitable for pull-out and Tier 3 MTSS/RTI settings.
