Benchmark Advance ©2022 and Benchmark Adelante ©2023 are K-6 comprehensive, content-based literacy program that was developed using research-based principles aligned to the science of reading research.

The programs provide a cohesive instructional framework that reflects the two sets of competencies from science of reading research addressing all components of the reading process: 

  • Foundational Reading-Skill Competencies (phonemic awareness, phonics and word study, fluency, sight words, and high-frequency words)

  • Teacher's Resource Systems

    These guides provide a roadmap for evidence-based literacy instruction across ten vertically-aligned knowledge building units. Instruction is comprehensive and integrates reading, writing, and foundational skills.
