✨ Small groups shouldn’t feel like an extreme sport. ✨
But here’s what teachers are expected to juggle:
-
Find decodables (before the kids sit down)
-
Create word mapping (for five reading levels)
-
Build comprehension routines (that actually stick)
-
Differentiate instruction (on the fly)
-
Make sure it’s aligned to SOR (no pressure)
…all while managing a classroom that has the energy of a double recess.
Of course you’re tired.
Of course it feels like too much.
Of course small groups feel chaotic.
It’s not you — it’s the system.
And there’s a better way.

Research-Based. Classroom-Ready.
Every resource inside the Shifting to SOR Membership is grounded in the Science of Reading and aligned to research-supported practices from:
-
Foundational Skills to Support Reading for Understanding (Foorman et al., 2016)
-
Teaching Reading is Rocket Science (Moats, 2020)
-
The broader body of research on phonemic awareness, decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension
The membership equips teachers with ready-to-use, explicit, systematic, and cumulative small-group tools that follow a clear, intentional sequence—so foundational reading skills are taught:
-
in order
-
with intention
-
in context
-
and with guided practice that builds real mastery
Your instruction becomes clearer.
Your small groups become smoother.
And your students get exactly what the research says works.
✨ Everything You Need for Small Groups - So You Can Stop Piecing It All Together ✨
When your small-group tools live in one place, you stop Googling, guessing, and grabbing random things from your file cabinet.
Here's what's waiting for you inside the Shifting to SOR Membership.
Tiny tweaks, big wins. These are the “Ohhh, why didn’t anyone tell me this sooner?” ideas for your small groups.
Think bingeable PD you’ll actually stay awake for—short, practical videos that show you exactly how to run SOR-aligned small groups.
No more “What should I even be teaching next?” This is your game plan; we've used the same scope and sequences as UFLI and IMSE.
Visuals that actually get used.
Charts that help kids remember phonics, decoding, and routines—not just decorate the room.
Your whole-group phonics backbone that makes teaching phonics ten times easier.
One system—not 47 random worksheets.
No more guessing.
Quick, clear assessments that show who needs what, so your small groups are targeted and effective.
Centers that don’t fall apart the second you sit down with a group.
Aligned, meaningful, kid-approved.
Lightweight routines that pack a huge punch for early reading.
These are your “5 minutes, big impact” activities.
All the tapping, blending, segmenting, and manipulating goodness—without you having to make it up on the spot.
Clear, systematic activities that reinforce exactly what you teach in your small groups—without confusion.
Teach high-frequency words the way the brain learns best.
No more “just memorize it.”
Support for the kids who can read the words but have no idea what they just read.
Visuals that finally make those tricky vowel sounds click.
Kids see it, feel it, and hear it.
Step-by-step routines that turn
“I’ve seen this word 100 times” into
“I actually KNOW this word.”
Passages and routines for when you suddenly realize,
“Do I even have anything for fluency today?”
Now… yes. Yes, you do.
Activities that move past “Who are the characters?” and into real thinking and discussion.
Plus, you get FULL Access to the Decodable Readers Vault (DRV)
The Decodable Readers Vault (AKA: Your New Small-Group Lifesaver)
Everything you need to teach small-group reading with confidence — and organized for grab-and-go use:
No searching.
No guessing the skill.
No flipping through 47 tabs like you’re on a scavenger hunt you did not sign up for.
Inside the DRV, you get hundreds of decodable readers that have been created using the UFLI and IMSE Scope and Sequence—each one paired with everything you actually need to run a small group without losing your mind:
-
150+ easy-to-assemble Decodable Readers (print in color or black/white)
-
Editable lesson plans that match each reader and phonics skill
-
Activities for each reader (word mapping, word work, sentence building, draw-it + comprehension, vocabulary, fluency… all without prep)
-
Three levels of passages (K, 1st, 2nd) for easy differentiation
-
Digital readers for tablets, Chromebooks, or the Smartboard (no login required)
-
Fluency passages + recording sheets to track growth
-
Activities for each reader (word mapping, word work, sentence building, draw-it + comprehension, vocabulary, fluency… all without prep)
Basically: it’s everything except a personal assistant to hand you the materials during your group.
(Though honestly, this is pretty close.)
Your small groups get easier the second you open it.
Kids actually read the books.
You feel like a rockstar.
Life is good.
What's Inside the Decodable Readers Vault?
Scope and Sequences
We created our decodable readers and passages using two research-aligned scopes and sequences, UFLI and IMSE, to support structured, sequential instruction.
**UFLI Readers: Some skills overlap between Kindergarten and 1st Grade; books are shared for those skills. We are NOT endorsed by UFLI or IMSE.
Hundreds of skill-aligned books that actually match the lesson you’re teaching.
Goodbye, random “close enough” texts. Hello, sanity.
Fully editable PowerPoints matched to each reader — because sometimes you want to tweak things, and sometimes you want to hit “print” and pretend you tweaked things.
Differentiation without the drama.
Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade levels for every book, so you’re not hunting for “something easier” five minutes before groups.
Perfect for tablets, Chromebooks, or the Smartboard. No login required.
Or, you know… those days when your copier decides it’s done with you.
Word mapping, word work, sentence building, draw-it + comprehension, vocabulary, fluency…
Everything except a personal assistant to hand it to you during groups.
Track growth without needing to dig through your “I’ll file this later” pile.
Weekly spotlights with teacher-friendly tips and quick links — for when you want to look magically prepared while actually being… realistic.
Welcome to the SOR Club — your teacher support squad. Join monthly live calls, grab the replays when life happens, jump into challenges, and hang out with teachers who actually get what teaching reading is like.
Editable pages to keep your small groups organized so you don’t have to rely on sticky-note systems that only you understand.
