Flexible literacy solutions built on best-practice instruction

Dear Valued Educator,

Welcome back for the Fall 2024 Semester! We hope the weeks and months ahead are fulfilling and productive ones for you. As always, Okapi Educational Publishing™ remains poised to provide you with exceptional learning resources to ignite the literacy (and biliteracy) of your students.

Are your students struggling with the Knowledge Gap? Consider filling it with the dynamic content of WorldWise: Content-based Literacy™ (pages 48-61) and ExploraMundos™ (pages 110-123). These captivating programs have been designed to fill your literacy block with content-rich subject matter, and all of it is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards and C3 Social Studies Outcomes for each grade.

Are you a dual language educator in search of fundamentally equitable curricula? Be sure to take note of our Dual Language Resources section (pages 63-66). Okapi has made your job simpler by combining our English and Spanish packages into comprehensive bundles of both languages, where every title in English is matched with its counterpart in Spanish.

We have expanded our Add-On Sets selections (pages 6771) to include time-saving options for extending the reach of Flying Start to Literacy: PHONICS™, including 6-Packs for every decodable reader.

Okapi Digital Literacy™ offers more than 1200 student books with full instructional support and an expansive selection of other tools for extending student learning. Visit our Preview Site at bit.ly/ODLDemoSite, which displays all books and other materials for your free-to-view review!

And later this fall, watch for the release of Build Literacy Learning, an explicit and systematic structured literacy program to build skills and knowledge with young readers.

Resource Selection Guide

Flying Start to Literacy: PHONICS™

An exciting resource for explicit and systematic phonics instruction for young students.

Flying Start to Literacy: PHONICS ™ will engage your students and support their literacy development in ways that are based on research and are both meaningful and supportive.

All the key components of a rich Foundational Skills resource are covered. Students are encouraged to explore oral language with rhymes and chants, to build vocabulary, and to engage in phonological awareness activities. The program follows a scope and sequence of skills and knowledge from common sounds of consonants and vowels to less common letter-sound patterns. Each Teaching Unit supports the explicit and systematic teaching of phonological awareness, phonics, morphology, and high-utility words. Writing instruction is included in each unit, providing opportunities for teaching letter-sound knowledge.

Assessment

Modules One, Two, and Three

Common sounds of consonants and vowels

Modules Four and Five

Double letters, adjacent consonants, long vowels

Teacher Resource Book • The Big Book of Rhymes

Alphabet Cards

30 Decodable Books

Modules Six and Seven

Less common letter sounds

Assessment allows for the placement of students within the program, organizing them for learning, and monitoring their progress.

Flying Start to Literacy: PHONICS ™ follows an explicit and systematic phonic progression that flows seamlessly into the Flying Start to Literacy™ small group reading resource.

What and when are the students reading?

Exciting, engaging decodable books provide a foundation for beginning readers as they progress to independent reading in later primary grades. The books match the teaching sequence and support the students as they put what has been learned into practice. The seventy decodable books support the letter-sound correspondences and high-utility words taught throughout the program and allow students to use their decoding and word recognition skills to develop fluency and comprehension. The student texts are 100% decodable when the sequence of instruction has been followed.

Stage One

Each lesson in the Stage One Units provides instruction on:

• Oral language development and listening comprehension

• Building a rich vocabulary

• Phonological awareness: identifying and manipulating syllables and phonemes with spoken words

• Phonics: letter-sound relationships and word building

• Writing: forming lowercase and uppercase letters and words

• High-utility words

• Consolidated learning activities where students can practice new knowledge and skills

In Stage One—with the focus on introducing the alphabet—the decodable books are read at the end of each module.

• Module One’s nine letters and nine high-utility words are featured in the first set of books.

• Module Two’s eighteen letters and nineteen high-utility words are featured in the second set of books.

• The full alphabet with accompanying high-utility words are covered in Module Three’s decodable books.

Stage Two

In Stage Two, the basic structure of the lessons continues. Attention turns to:

• Double letters

• Adjacent consonants

• Long vowels

• Reading longer multisyllabic and compound words

• Morphology

In Stage Two, the Modules Four and Five decodable books can be read at the end of each Unit. Each book contains words with the letter-sound correspondence the students have just learned.

Paired informational and narrative texts are introduced in Stage Two Module Four.

“When I learned that [Okapi’s] Decodable Readers were going to be available, I couldn’t wait to view them. Students respond to the knowledge building that these books supply. The quality of the literature and informational texts disguise the fact that these are decodable books.”

Club

—D. Myers, Spokane Public Schools

Stage Three

Stage Three focuses on less common letter sounds. Students further build their growing bank of high-utility words. Mastering this bank of high-utility words allows students to practice their new phonetic knowledge in the context of a sentence and in a longer, connected text.

In Stage Three, the Modules Six and Seven decodable books can be read at the end of each Unit.

Instruction

Flying Start to Literacy: PHONICS™ teaches phonics in a systematic and explicit process along with five other key components required for literacy development: oral language, phonological awareness, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

Oral Language Development

Extend oral language awareness by using letter–sound chants and rhymes focusing on the rhythm, rhyming words, clapping and clicking the syllables, hearing sounds in words, and by using varied oralreading expression, such as loud and soft/fast and slow.

Phonological Awareness

Develop phonological awareness through auditory activities that focus on the sound of the letter introduced in the unit.

Vocabulary

Find a word or words in the rhyme to explicitly teach to your students. Define the word using student friendly language.

Alphabet Review

Progressively review letter-sound correspondences to practice retrieving information.

Teaching Units follow the same structure throughout the program. Content is appropriate for the level of the students at each stage in the program.

High-Utility Words

High-utility words are useful, and many of these need to be taught explicitly. Sound–letter charts are used for explicit instruction of high-utility words.

Phonics

Encourage students to connect a sound to a letter and to write the letter in uppercase and lowercase.

Consolidate Learning

Activities for students (individually, in pairs, or small groups) to practice new knowledge and skills that will help them to develop accuracy and automaticity when reading and writing.

What to expect from Flying Start to Literacy:

A CLEARLY DEFINED PROGRESSION IN THE SCOPE AND SEQUENCE

• The Scope and Sequence moves from simple letter-sound correspondences to more complex.

• The sequence provides time for foundation skills to be established.

• Clearly defined goals for each Teaching Unit (and each activity within the unit) are a feature of the program.

• Recently taught letters and sounds are carefully reviewed.

• There are ample practice and application opportunities for student accuracy and confidence.

INSTRUCTION IN FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS: PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS

Phonological awareness is linked to the focus of each Teaching Unit—as in “Say rat.” “Now say rat without the /r/.” “Yes, at.”

PHONICS

• Teaching goals for letter sounds are explicitly stated.

• Words with the target letter sound occur in wordbuilding activities.

• A writing activity is part of each Teaching Unit.

• Practice sentences that feature the focus letter-sound provide students with opportunities to decode and practice reading words with the letters and sounds they have learned.

ORAL LANGUAGE

• Multiple activities are used for the review and practice of the letter sounds:

o Dictation of words occurs in units and reviews.

o Sound–letter charts are used for multisensory learning of letter sounds.

o Clear images for each letter sound can be used in activities in daily review.

Oral language involves listening comprehension and underpins reading and writing.

VOCABULARY

• Vocabulary development of new words occurs in each lesson.

• Vocabulary is linked to comprehension.

• Vocabulary used in chants and rhymes is defined.

Paired Texts and Perspectives

“Learners will love the selection of short, authentic texts: posters, photographs, vox pops, interviews, arguments, personal recounts, reports, and primary source documents. And, teachers will love the resulting bursts of language, deep thinking, and powerful persuasive writing.“

CONCEPT SETS BUILD UNDERSTANDING OF KEY ISSUES

Leveled texts partner with Perspectives collections to build and extend students’ understanding of timely concepts.

Issue: Disappearing Rainforests

Paired Texts Lesson Plan: Sequence

• Exploring Vocabulary

• Establishing Strategy Focus

• Reading with Teacher Support

• Working with a Partner

• Quick Writing

• Talk About the Book

• Vocabulary Reflection

• Strategy Reflection

Perspectives Lesson Plan: Sequence

• Inquiry

• Independent Partner Work

• Thinking and Talking Circles

• Reading Closely

• Writing a Persuasive Argument

Through the teaching and learning model embedded in the lesson plans, students build a metacognitive understanding of their own learning process.

Perspectives texts develop English Learners’ oral language, critical thinking, writing skills, and ability to express opinions and ideas.

Everything you love about Flying Start to Literacy TM

Beginning with the Fluent Plus stage, we continue our award-winning formula of pairing a narrative text with an informational text, both connected by the same big idea.

Informational texts present the big ideas around a concept. They go beyond readers’ personal experiences and include a range of features including primary sources that support the text.

Narrative texts reflect the big ideas through their characters and plots. They feature plots with subplots, non-sequential treatment of time, and a range of literary devices.

Lesson Plans for the pair encourage higher-level thinking and provide opportunities for students to write in response to both the text and to their collaborative conversations.

…plus Perspectives—short, point of view texts exploring the issues raised by the big ideas in the paired texts.

Extend students’ thinking with additional views of the issues introduced in the paired texts.

Perspectives contain short texts in a magazinestyle format and include posters, arguments, discussions, letters, and visual images.

Perspectives Lesson Plans engage and support students in critical discussions, and in recognizing different points of view. Performance task cards provide opportunities to demonstrate comprehension.

Fill the Knowledge Gap with Explicit Links to NGSS and C3 Standards

Program Overview

WorldWise: Content-based Learning™ is a high-interest informational literacy program that encourages inquiry and questioning while extending knowledge in science, social studies, and a range of STEM topics. Your students will excel as their knowledge of the world increases with compelling texts that build on essential concepts throughout the six stages of the program.

WorldWise: Content-based LearningTM features:

• Content to engage readers and build rich background knowledge

• Seamless flow between content and literacy

• Graphic devices and striking photographs to support the content

• Research opportunities with Find Out More, Think About..., and Did You Know?

Students will develop strategies and skills needed to read informational texts across a range of text types, enhanced by writing assignments that reflect what they’re learning!

WorldWise: Content-based LearningTM is highly versatile, teaching reading strategies at the same time as teaching science and social studies concepts. Lesson plan cards for each book establish a reading focus for the text with explicit links to the NGSS and C3 Standards. With any WorldWise: Contentbased LearningTM text, students are learning standards-linked content as they learn to read.

Expand your students’ knowledge base with:

• Meaningful graphics, engaging photography, and wide-ranging text types

• Writing that reinforces content knowledge

• Titles covering a broad range of topics— field-tested with students just like them!

“While knowledge offers a foundation for understanding our world, it’s application of knowledge that transitions students from passive absorption to active inquiry and innovative thinking.”

Program Components

Student Books

WorldWise: Content-based Learning™ provides students with gradually increasing challenges. 174 titles linked to Grades K–5 Curriculum Standards cover natural, physical, and earth science, as well as social studies topics relevant to each grade level.

WorldWise: Content-based Learning™ texts introduce and revisit themes and concepts across the reading stages and build on initial concepts with increasing complexity.

Build rich background knowledge while exposing students to grade-appropriate syntax and key academic vocabulary.

Investigations

Lesson Plan Cards

WorldWise: Content-based Learning™ lesson plan cards support teachers in creating an active learning environment, in which all students know how to use content area reading strategies to think within and beyond any given text. Each card identifies the connection to state standards for informational texts as well as to one or more of the science or social studies standards. Educators can easily integrate these other content areas into their literacy block.

Investigations are inquiry-driven, independent project templates for students to use after reading any of the books at Grades 3-5. Investigations are available online only, with your purchase of the corresponding print products. See page 17 for complete details.

Just Dual It!®

Okapi’s title-for-title publishing commitment means that—regardless of the instructional approach you’ve adopted—your emerging bilinguals will be assured of exciting and equitable resources in both English and Spanish.

To simplify your selection of dual-language resources, we have combined both languages into cost-effective bundles by program, by stage, and by selected program components. We invite you to browse the following pages to customize your next dual-language order.

For Shared Reading

Rhyme, rhythm, repetition, and highly predictable texts—with allowances made for the differences between languages— offer you opportunities to revisit (and co-visit) familiar texts again and again.

For Small Group Instruction

Spreading across nine developmental reading stages—from Early Emergent to Advanced Fluent—more than 300 paired texts in each language work as paired texts are meant to work, with one text enhancing understanding of the other.

For Content-based Literacy

Develop content literacy in two languages with these essential resources fully aligned with Next Generation Science Standards and C3 Social Studies Outcomes.

Contact your local Okapi sales representative to learn more about the range of dual-language resources available from us. Dual-language leveled bookroom collections can be found on pages 124-127.

Biliteracy para todos

Biliteracy para todos™

Teaching for language connections

Biliteracy para todos™, your essential resource for dual-language learning, is a uniquely designed, standards-based program carefully crafted for Spanish-English instruction targeting language, content, and translanguaging practices.

para todos

para todos

Thoughtfully selected text pairs in English and Spanish provide the primary means for students to explore how the two languages are alike and different.

Biliteracy para todos™ provides resources for teachers to engage bilingual learners in two related activities:

• Contrasting and analyzing the two languages of instruction

• Using their complete linguistic repertoire during whole class and small group literacy instruction.

Available in three complete stages (Early, Developing, and Advanced), each stage of Biliteracy para todos™ consists of two separate resources. These are available as standalone products or as one comprehensive package by stage:

• Cross Linguistic Connections (CLC) for whole or small group instruction encompasses phonology, morphology, grammar, and syntax.

• Preview-View-Review (PVR) for small group reading instruction.

THE TWO PILLARS OF BILITERACY PARA TODOS™

TRANSLANGUAGING

Biliteracy para todos™ builds on students’ ability to translenguar to actively develop biliteracy. Translanguaging is not only about moving from one language to another, it is also about how bilingual students use language. Students use their complete language system, which is composed of features of both languages, to make sense of their world.

Biliteracy para todos™ lessons are designed for teachers working with emergent and experienced bilinguals in different educational contexts. The lessons provide intentional translanguaging opportunities, allowing bilingual learners to flexibly use their full linguistic repertoire as they become bilingual and biliterate.

BILITERACY

In Biliteracy para todos™, biliteracy is seen from the perspectives of both the biliteracy teacher and the biliterate student.

CLC and PVR lessons create opportunities for teachers to implement their biliteracy teaching in an intentionally designed way. Students are encouraged to become biliterate as they move through the three stages of the program’s biliteracy progression. Through this process, the students use their full linguistic repertoire to gain understanding of how English and Spanish are similar and different.

ENGLISH SPANISH

Mini-Lesson / Mini-lección

The teacher:

• provides initial language and literacy instruction in Spanish or English during the language arts block.

• facilitates access to biliteracy by connecting language and literacy skills previously learned in Spanish or English during the language arts block.

• engages students in discussions and explores similarities and differences between the two languages of instruction.

• creates opportunities for students to demonstrate metalinguistic awareness by applying language and literacy skills discussed during CLC lessons in the other language across all content areas.

Review / Repaso

The Structure of CLC Lessons

During the designated CLC lesson, the students work in bilingual pairs.

The teacher:

• introduces the lesson and the mini lesson

• guides and works with the students during the student investigation and the creation of the anchor chart to summarize how the languages are similar or different

• encourages the students to reflect and write independently in their journals during the review.

Paired Texts and Perspectivas

“Learners will love the selection of short, authentic texts: posters, photographs, vox pops, interviews, arguments, personal recounts, reports, and primary source documents. And, teachers will love the resulting bursts of language, deep thinking, and powerful persuasive writing.“

CONCEPT SETS BUILD UNDERSTANDING OF KEY ISSUES

Leveled texts partner with Perspectivas collections to build and extend students’ understanding of timely concepts.

Issue: Disappearing Rainforests

Paired Texts Lesson Plan: Sequence

• Exploring Vocabulary

• Establishing Strategy Focus

• Reading with Teacher Support

• Working with a Partner

• Quick Writing

• Talk About the Book

• Vocabulary Reflection

• Strategy Reflection

Perspectivas Lesson Plan: Sequence

• Inquiry

• Independent Partner Work

• Thinking and Talking Circles

• Reading Closely

• Writing a Persuasive Argument

Through the teaching and learning model embedded in the Lesson Plans, students build a metacognitive understanding of their own learning process.

Perspectivas motivate and enable Spanishspeaking ELs to express opinions and explore ideas about what they read.

Everything you love about Despegando hacia la lectura® …

Beginning with the Fluent Plus stage, we continue our award-winning formula of pairing a narrative text with an informational text, both connected by the same big idea.

Informational texts present the big ideas around a concept. They go beyond readers’ personal experiences and include a range of features including primary sources that support the text.

Narrative texts reflect the big ideas through their characters and plots. They feature plots with subplots, non-sequential treatment of time, and a range of literary devices.

Lesson Plans for the pair encourage higher-level thinking and provide opportunities for students to write in response to both the text and to their collaborative conversations.

…plus Perspectivas—short, point of view texts exploring the issues raised by the big ideas in the paired texts.

Extend students’ thinking with additional views of the issues introduced in the paired texts.

Perspectivas contain short texts in a magazinestyle format and include posters, arguments, discussions, letters, and visual images.

Perspectivas Lesson Plans engage and support students in critical discussions, and in recognizing different points of view. Performance task cards provide opportunities to demonstrate comprehension.

En el camino a la escuela, me encontré con Isabella cuando salía del edificio de apartamentos donde vive. Es una compañera de mi clase, pero nunca nos vemos fuera de la escuela.

Deberían haber visto la cara de Isabella cuando vio a Goldie. Estaba realmente entusiasmada.

–¡No sabía que tenías un perro! ¿Cómo se llama? –me preguntó.

–Goldie. Es un labrador de pura raza. ¿Quieres acariciarlo?

–¡Me encantaría! –dijo Isabella, y se inclinó mientras dejaba con cuidado sobre el suelo una caja de plástico que llevaba. –Es hermoso –susurró, mientras acariciaba con suavidad la cabeza de Goldie.

Le dije que cuando Goldie fuera mayor, lo llevaría a exhibiciones, y que seguro ganaría muchos premios.

ExploraMundos™

Fill the Knowledge Gap with Explicit Links to NGSS and C3 Standards

Program Overview

ExploraMundos™ is a high-interest informational literacy program that encourages inquiry and questioning while extending knowledge in science, social studies, and a range of STEM topics. Your students will excel as their knowledge of the world increases with compelling texts that build on essential concepts throughout the six stages of the program.

ExploraMundos

ExploraMundosTM features:

• Relatable content to engage readers and build rich background knowledge

• Seamless flow between content and literacy

• Graphic devices and striking photographs to support the content

• Research opportunities with Inténtalo, Piénsalo, and ¿Lo sabías?

Students will develop strategies and skills to read informational texts across a range of text types, enhanced by writing assignments that reflect what they’re learning!

ExploraMundos™ is highly versatile, teaching reading strategies at the same time as teaching science and social studies concepts. Lesson plan cards for each book establish a reading focus for the text with explicit links to the NGSS and C3 Standards. With any ExploraMundos™ text, students are learning standards-linked content as they learn to read.

Expand your students’ knowledge base with:

• Meaningful graphics, engaging photography, and wide-ranging text types

• Writing that reinforces content knowledge

• Titles covering a broad range of topics— field-tested with students just like them!

“While knowledge offers a foundation for understanding our world, it’s application of knowledge that transitions students from passive absorption to active inquiry and innovative thinking.”

—Maria Nichols, Educational Consultant

Student Books

Lesson Plan Cards

ExploraMundos™ lesson plan cards support teachers in creating an active learning environment, in which all students know how to use content area reading strategies to think within and beyond any given text. Each card identifies the connection to state standards for informational texts as well as to one or more of the science or social studies standards. Educators can easily integrate these other content areas into their literacy block.

Investigaciones are inquiry-driven, independent project templates for students to use after reading any of the books at Grades 3-5. Investigaciones are available online only, with your purchase of the corresponding print products. See page 17 for complete details.
