Building Confident Readers

Diagram of the CR Success Reading and Writing Model showing components that develop over time. It features a watering can labeled 'Applied Literacy Skills' watering a central flower labeled 'Proficient Reader and Writer.' The flower is connected to a green tree illustrating development stages, including 'The Six! Wordsmith Levels 3 and 4 & 5,' 'Streamlined Wordsmith Level 2 HR Handwriting,' 'First Steps HR Handwriting,' and 'Jump Start,' with increasing complexity. The roots of the tree represent interconnected language components like oral language, vocabulary, phonemic awareness, spelling concepts, syntax, grammar, morphology, text knowledge, background knowledge, and critical thinking. To the right, there are yellow rays indicating features of engaging and efficient instruction, such as explicit, sequential, cumulative, memorable, active, multisensory, and embedded assessment.

The Flower Model is a visual metaphor for how CR Success Learning builds proficient readers and writers, showing how essential literacy skills grow from the ground up, rooted in science and nurtured by effective teaching.
