Fountas & Pinnell Classroom Online Resources

The Online Resources site supports Irene Fountas and Gay Su Pinnell’s multi-collection literacy instruction system of nearly 10,000 lessons. It provides a searchable and filterable interface to all the resources, customizable user folders for resource organization, and a student-accessible listening library of audio books for the Shared Reading collection. In 2020, in response to the pandemic, it was expanded to include ebook versions of the readers to support remote instruction.

 

Below are a couple explainer videos showing the main page and the Guided Reading library.

Transition to Algebra

This full-year curriculum for grades seven to nine, produced in conjunction with Education Development Center, offers a puzzle-based introduction to algebraic concepts in twelve full-color student worktext units. The tagline is “make algebra make sense.” In addition to production management, I provided key editorial support for the teacher guides as well as classroom photography for the series overview. Transition to Algebra won a 2015 New England Book Show award for best K-12 curriculum product.

Climb Inside a Poem

Climb Inside a Poem is an anthology of poems written by well-known authors in a large full color read-aloud format, with an associated book of mini lessons. I was the production manager and art director for this project.

 

The Primary Comprehension Toolkit

The Comprehension Toolkit teaches reading comprehension in an active literacy framework using six key strategies. I was the production manager and art director for this 18-month project. It won the 2008 New England Book Show for best K-12 multimedia product.

I did the location photography for the cover and interior.
