EPACC emphasizes fundamental skills that all early readers must master.
 
The curriculum connects sounds in spoken words to letters of the alphabet, systematically and explicitly, to help beginning readers reach skill proficiency benchmarks. EPACC complements your core reading curriculum by making these important connections transparent to students who are at risk of reading difficulties. EPACC focuses on specific skills validated by research: phonemic awareness, alphabetic understanding, and fluency with the alphabetic code.
 
EPACC is:
  • a single or multi-year program
  • taught with systematic and explicit instruction in small groups or one-on-one
  • presented to students in 20-minute sessions, 4 times a week
  • for students in RTI 2, grades K-2
  • for students in grades K-6 with mild to moderate developmental or learning disabilities
 
EPACC incorporates principles of direct instruction such as a model-leadtest format, correction procedures, and the opportunity for group and individual responses. Lessons are scripted and delivered in 15-minute sessions 4 times a week. The Scope and Sequence begins at prekindergarten and ends at a 1.5 grade level. Based on the progress of your students, EPACC functions as a single or multi-year program.
