CSI Literacy
Reading & Writing Resources That Work
About CSI Literacy
CSI Literacy is a family of resources built to help teachers boost their students’ literacy achievement. Every resource is grounded in three core principles: engaging content that captures students’ interest, explicit teaching that makes strategies clear, and collaborative learning that gets every reader involved.
Whether you’re working with confident readers or striving learners, CSI Literacy materials are designed to be effective and easy to use—so you can spend less time planning and more time teaching.
Our approach
We believe every student can grow as a reader when given the right tools. CSI Literacy resources combine rich, real-world texts with structured lessons that make reading strategies visible and transferable. Students learn to ask questions, make connections, determine importance, and draw inferences—skills they carry into every subject.
What makes CSI Literacy different
- Engaging: Texts that reflect the world students live in—graphic novels, articles, and real-life topics that spark curiosity.
- Effective: Explicit instruction in key comprehension strategies, with built-in support for diverse reading levels.
- Easy: Ready-to-use kits and digital resources that fit into your existing literacy block without extra prep.
Our resources
The CSI Literacy family includes CSI Literacy Kits, CSI Chapters, CSI Private Eye, and Pathways—each tailored to different grade levels and instructional needs. Together they form a coherent system that supports readers from early intervention through confident independence.
