Pillar 1 · Reading
A short mentor passage — “The Unseen Current” — followed by main idea and inference work, author’s purpose, and language tasks that bridge into spelling, grammar and writing. Ends with student reflection prompts.
Pillar 1 Answer Key
Teacher answer key and assessment rubric for the reading worksheet: model responses for main idea and inference, the correct author’s purpose, and a vocabulary table with word type and context definition.
Pillars 2 & 3
A guided practice worksheet running spelling and grammar side by side: word study in context, phonics and word structure, parts-of-speech colour coding, sentence building, and a short writing application for each.
Pillars 2 & 3 Answer Key
Teacher answer key and guide: vowel teams and digraphs identified word by word, prefix and suffix breakdowns, fully labelled parts of speech for both sample sentences, and model sentence transformations.
Pillar 4 · Writing
A guided writing activity on crafting an engaging narrative scene. Four columns move from mentor text analysis, through mechanics and a generative prompt, to a synthesis paragraph with a self-check list.
Pillar 4 Answer Key
Teacher answer key and guide for the writing activity, including the marked-up mentor excerpt, an appositive rewrite example, brainstorming guidance, and a full exemplar paragraph to measure student work against.
Framework

Assessment
A single-page record covering all four pillars — reading synthesis, writing mechanics, word structure and functional grammar — closing with teacher feedback, goal setting and a four-level mastery scale.
