Dr. Anita Archer serves as an educational consultant to state departments and school districts on explicit instruction and literacy. She has presented in all 50 states and many countries, and she is the recipient of 10 awards honoring her contributions to education. Dr. Archer has served on the faculties of three universities: University of Washington, University of Oregon, and San Diego State University and has co-authored numerous curriculum materials.
Dr. Archer leverages decades of reading research to deliver systematic and explicit foundational skills instruction for older students who have not yet mastered decoding.
Type size, illustrations, and visual design appeal to older students. Each lesson builds toward reading longer, more developmentally appropriate, decodable text.
i-Ready data helps educators target older students who need Phonics for Reading. A Placement Test groups students, and formative Check-Ups at the end of each unit monitor progress.
A flexible lesson structure supports many implementation models. Clear and easy-to-follow lessons can be taught by a wide range of staff, including reading specialists, classroom teachers, and paraprofessionals.
