Reading First Approved Supplemental List! SIPPS grades KMaking Meaning (Comprehension) K-3
Making Meaning K-8


The Making Meaning program uses Read-aloud books that have been carefully chosen to explicitly teach the comprehension strategies known to be used by good readers. The program is a yearlong, K-8 curriculum that teaches students to make sense of text and to be responsible partners who can support their own opinions and appreciate and respect the ideas of others.

Want to improve student writing and increase students’ passion to write?  Being a Writer from Developmental Studies Center, can do that!

New! Being a Writer
The program is a yearlong curriculum for grades K-5 that offers two goals for age-appropriate instruction at each grade level. Being a Writer uses Trade books for genre immersion and author studies, the writing process to empower student authorship, topic selection and peer conferring to develop writing.

  • Used with a reading basal program: The Being a Writer program is stand alone writing program that can replace or supplement the writing component of any basal series.  Unlike many language arts programs that often separate grammar, usage, and punctuation from the real act of writing.  Being a Writer teaches these skills  using students’ own writing, after they have had ample time to draft their ideas, along with authentic literature as writing models.
  • Writer’s Workshop: Being a Writer is inspired in part by the writer’s workshop concept that has been adopted by many schools. The process of writing is not only choosing a topic, creating a draft, sharing and revising, but also learning the craft of experienced authors who develop an idea or tell a story.
  • What’s Taught?  Writing craft and genre study: http://www.devstud.org/being-a-writer-taught-developing-the-craft-of-writing        research: htt://www.devstu.org/research-being-a-writer
