What's Included?
GATE+ includes a one-of-a-kind flipbook, which features student lessons on one side and a detailed teacher's script on the other. To present the lessons, teachers read from the script and call on the students to respond as prompted. This format makes GATE+ a breeze to teach! The script uses student-friendly language and was written by reading teachers and phonics experts. It can be used with minimal training by reading interventionists, classroom teachers, para-educators, or even volunteers. An optional PowerPoint slideshow for each lesson makes it easy to customize the program for large or small groups.

"I am using the directed instruction with my below-level second graders. I have seen more than a years growth using this system. We moved through the first level and the students really enjoy the format and the consistency that the patterned method of teaching that GATE provides."Susan S.
"The students I worked with in a pull-out session showed improvement quickly. The language arts teacher recently said, 'I have never used the program, but I know that it works because they all showed marked improvement! Please keep doing what you're doing!'"Melanie M.
