Howdy Texas Educators! We are so excited to be your Texas phonics partner. Texas continues to transform education and champion literacy instruction grounded in the science of reading. Inspired by this meaningful work, Just Right Reader is eager to partner with Texas educators and support these efforts. We are driven by a dedicated team of passionate Texas educators who work diligently through the IMRA process to ensure that our phonics program meets Texas's High standards and is aligned with TEKS. The journey to our Texas State Board of Education approval was truly an inspiring effort. What makes Just Right Reader special is that every literacy resource and decodable book was designed specifically for Texas students, teachers, and families, with one goal in mind, getting books into the hands of every student. To accelerate Reading Achievement across the Lone Star state, we developed a high quality phonics program designed specifically for Texas students with the most effective reading and learning experience. We are proud to be one of only two companies approved by the State Board of Education for both English and Spanish phonics resources. Our TEKS Aligned Phonics program in English and Spanish provides educators and families with everything they need to confidently support students reading development in the classroom and at home. Our libraries align not only with TEKS, but also with your core phonics program. They provide structured practice of the phonics skills students are learning in class. These evidence-based Science of Reading decodable books feature engaging stories, relatable characters, and colorful illustrations that get kids excited about reading. Over 500 decodable books are mapped to a rigorous phonics progression. Each title is 90% decodable and 20% of every page focuses on the target phonics skill. To ensure mastery, students receive numerous opportunities to practice with multiple titles dedicated to each phonics skill, giving students the repetition and reinforcement they need to succeed. At Just Right Reader. We know the importance of providing students with access to more books in their hands and less time on screens. We also ensure the success of Texas educators by providing comprehensive resources for the seamless implementation of our literacy resources. Our phonics classroom libraries include a complete phonics teacher guide, scripted lesson plans for each title, and additional phonics skills lessons that are perfect for small group instruction. We also created engaging phonics video lessons for every book. Simply scan the QR code on each book to access the video in English or Spanish. These videos reinforce key phonics skills while making reading fun for kids. Phonics classroom libraries include emergent bilingual guides along with assessment and progress monitoring resources so that educators can confidently support student growth and track their reading progress. Every district is different, which is why we're dedicated to creating a personalized science of reading plan that fits your unique students and families. Our mission is to ensure all Texas students have the opportunity to become stronger, more confident readers.

The confidence levels have increased when it comes to approaching books, working through the text, and even jumping in and trying to decode words. They are really excited to dig in and read together.

It was like Christmas when the kids came to the carpet and got their packs! Our teachers are asking for more. Our kids just want books in their hands, and so do the parents.

When we started, several students didn’t want to participate in the lessons. They weren’t confident. As they began to read and practice more, they became confident and were excited to participate.

If we can engage them [young readers] and capture them very early in literacy and [instill] the love of reading, it will become a lifetime habit for them.
