Everything you need, ready to teach

CSI Literacy Kits are built around three principles that drive student success:

  • Engaging content — texts and topics that students genuinely want to read, from graphic novels to high-interest nonfiction.
  • Explicit teaching — clear, structured lessons that model reading strategies and make thinking visible.
  • Collaborative learning — opportunities for partner work, group discussion, and peer feedback that deepen understanding.

Each kit includes leveled texts, teacher guides, assessment tools, and digital supports to help you differentiate instruction across your classroom.

Monitor progress, celebrate growth

Built-in formative assessment tools help you track each reader's development. Students learn to monitor their own comprehension, set goals, and reflect on their progress — building independence along with skill.

Whether you're working with small groups or the whole class, CSI Literacy Kits give you the flexibility to adapt instruction to your students' needs.
