Reading and Writing Curriculum


At Southeast Dubois County School Corporation, we are committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based literacy instruction across all grade levels.

Reading Instruction

  • Grades K–2 and 6–8: Ready Reading by Curriculum Associates

  • Grades 3–5: Magnetic Reading by Curriculum Associates

  • Grades K–8: Instruction is supported by the Smekens Comprehension Playbook and a locally developed curriculum aligned to the Indiana Academic Standards.

  • Science of Reading-Aligned Instruction: All K–8 classrooms utilize the University of Florida Literacy Institute’s (UFLI) Foundations Toolbox for systematic instruction in word recognition and language comprehension.

Writing Instruction

  • Students at Ferdinand Elementary, Pine Ridge Elementary, and Cedar Crest Intermediate use the Smekens Writer’s Workshop model, supplemented with locally developed writing resources aligned to the Indiana Academic Standards.

Remediation & Intervention

  • Targeted supports include Heggerty Phonemic Awareness and Orton-Gillingham-based instruction.

  • In addition, students benefit from daily small-group, differentiated instruction tailored by classroom teachers to meet individual learning needs.
