A 21-page visual guide showing exactly how reading, writing, and language build together from Kindergarten through 5th grade.
Phonics in one lesson. Writing in another. Comprehension somewhere else. That’s how most programs work—and it’s why so many students fall through the cracks. This roadmap lays out the full progression of structured literacy from Kindergarten through 5th grade, showing exactly how phonological awareness, phonics, writing, grammar, vocabulary, and comprehension weave together at every stage.
See exactly what students should be doing at each grade level—from letter formation and CVC words in Kindergarten to multi-paragraph essays with evidence in 5th grade. Every skill is mapped to when it should be introduced, practiced, and mastered.
This isn’t just a reading roadmap. Writing is the thread that connects everything—phonics patterns practiced through dictation, grammar taught through sentence construction, comprehension built through written response. “The brain remembers what the hand does.”
Each stage includes specific, hands-on activities—sand tracing, graphic organizers, sentence building with word tiles, shared writing, journal prompts. Concrete methods you can use immediately, not abstract theory.
If your child is behind, this roadmap helps you pinpoint where the gaps are. If they’re on track, it shows you what’s coming next. Either way, you stop guessing and start building on a clear foundation.
Designed by Enid Webb, M.S. CCC-SLP—a literacy specialist with 30+ years of experience, trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach. This roadmap reflects the same framework she uses with her own students and families.
