TRI brings the science of reading into the classroom for students and teachers.
Targeted Reading Instruction (TRI)
For Teachers, Schools, and Districts
Targeted Reading Instruction (TRI) accelerates foundational reading proficiency and achievement for students reading below grade level in grades K-3, unlocking skills for lifelong learning. Easy to integrate into existing programs and adjust based on the needs of individual readers, TRI empowers teachers to provide effective reading instruction for every student
TRI Focuses on Three Areas
TRI Scope and Sequence for Instruction Our 15-minute daily lessons develop the foundational skills needed for reading success and later academic achievement.
TRI’s Coaching Experience Regular virtual coaching sessions provide in-the-moment support for teachers as they implement TRI’s evidence-based practices and tailor instruction to meet each student’s needs.
TRI’s Professional Learning Model Teachers learn best by doing. TRI immerses teachers in the act of teaching reading to support building knowledge.

TRI’s decodable books feature engaging characters and illustrations. Readers can follow the adventures of Bob the Bat as he searches for his mom or Mist and Trish as they plan a camping trip. TRI’s decodables closely align with our instructional scope and sequence to engage students in real-world reading, building confidence and motivation. The clear storylines allow early readers to develop comprehension skills while simultaneously practicing their new decoding strategies.
These decodable texts are featured on TRI’s YouTube channel. There are four videos for each book: three videos focused on activities to develop phonological awareness and early decoding skills and a final video applying those skills while reading the text. The videos can be used as a stand-alone activity for beginning readers or can serve as a model for how to use decodable texts with a child. Select the playlist link to visit TRI’s YouTube channel.
