The Series
The Complete Twelve-Title Literacy System
The Ellerton literacy system consists of twelve student workbooks that provide structured practice across the six instructional strands.
Ellerton is a 12-book literacy system providing explicit, systematic instruction in foundational skills—designed for Pre-K through Kindergarten and aligned to how children learn to read.
No disruption to your current curriculum. Easy to implement. Built for real classrooms.
Ellerton™ is a structured early literacy series of twelve skill-focused titles designed to support foundational reading development in PreK–Kindergarten classrooms.
The program provides systematic skill practice across six instructional strands that reflect the developmental progression of early reading skills. Each title focuses on a specific domain of literacy development, including phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and early writing, and is delivered through student consumable workbooks designed for daily classroom practice.
Activities are intentionally short and focused, allowing teachers to integrate practice into whole-group instruction, small-group rotations, literacy centers, and intervention settings.
Ellerton was developed to provide educators with a clear and consistent system for reinforcing foundational literacy skills while reflecting established findings from reading science and early learning standards.
Ellerton organizes foundational literacy instruction into six instructional strands that reflect the developmental progression of reading skills.
Each strand includes two focused titles that provide systematic practice across key domains of early literacy development.
The Ellerton literacy system consists of twelve student workbooks that provide structured practice across the six instructional strands.
Ellerton was designed to support systematic practice, clear instructional routines, and consistent skill development across classrooms. The program structure allows schools to implement a coherent literacy system across grade levels.
Program design principles
Activities reinforce phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and early writing skills supported by established literacy research.
The series follows a clearly sequenced progression from alphabet knowledge through sentence-level reading and writing.
The twelve workbooks are organized across six instructional strands aligned with foundational literacy standards.
Classroom implementation
Clean page layouts, predictable activity structures, and simple directions support independent student work and efficient classroom routines.
Materials can be used during whole-group instruction, small-group rotations, literacy centers, intervention blocks, or independent practice.
Short, targeted activities allow teachers to reinforce foundational literacy skills within 15–20 minute literacy sessions.
Ellerton materials are designed for flexible classroom implementation, supporting whole-group instruction, small-group practice, literacy centers, intervention, and independent work.
Teachers use workbook pages for shared practice during phonics or literacy block instruction. The focused layout supports teacher modeling and keeps students engaged during guided practice.
Students work independently while teachers provide targeted small-group instruction, supporting efficient classroom rotations.
Each workbook targets a single literacy skill, making it easy to assign focused practice for students needing additional support.
Teachers can review completed workbooks to monitor student skill progression across the year.
Implementation overview
Preview representative pages from Ellerton™ workbooks. Each activity is designed to build specific literacy skills through structured, developmentally appropriate practice.
Examples across the literacy progression
Students identify and circle target letters among distractors, strengthening visual discrimination and reinforcing letter recognition.
Students blend consonants and vowels to read simple CVC words, strengthening decoding skills and early phonics knowledge.
Students construct simple sentences using sight words and decodable vocabulary while applying capitalization and punctuation.
Ellerton™ workbooks integrate into whole-group instruction, small-group lessons, literacy centers, and independent practice. Each title provides focused, systematic reinforcement of a single foundational literacy skill.
Choose individual workbooks or implement the complete twelve-book series based on classroom needs and student skill levels. Each title provides focused, scaffolded practice aligned to a single foundational skill.
Use during whole-group instruction, small-group lessons, literacy centers, or independent practice. Recommended: 15–20 minutes per session, 3–4 times per week.
Students work through each workbook at their own pace, building confidence and skill mastery through consistent practice. Most complete a workbook in 4–6 weeks.
Track student progress across the series. The complete 12-book system supports a full PreK–Kindergarten school year, with fresh consumable workbooks each year.
Ellerton™ materials provide systematic, research-aligned practice in phonemic awareness, phonics, and foundational literacy skills to support early reading development.
Systematic practice in phonemic awareness and phonics aligned with evidence-based literacy research and Science of Reading principles.
A clearly sequenced progression of foundational literacy skills from alphabet knowledge through early sentence writing.
Aligned with Common Core State Standards and state early literacy frameworks for PreK–Kindergarten.
Annual consumable workbooks support student ownership, hands-on practice, and sustainable district implementation.
Flexible use in whole-group instruction, small-group learning, literacy centers, and independent practice with minimal teacher preparation.
Activities designed for PreK–Kindergarten learners with clear directions, simple visual layouts, and consistent instructional routines.
Ellerton is available for district pilot implementation during the 2026 school year. Pilot schools receive full classroom materials, implementation guidance, and program documentation to support local evaluation.
Pilot schools receive complete classroom materials, implementation guidance, and program documentation. The pilot is designed to be low-burden and integrates directly into existing literacy instruction without disrupting core programs.
Request Pilot InformationSupporting documents help schools review the program, plan implementation, and evaluate fit.
Ellerton develops structured, skill-focused literacy practice materials aligned with the Science of Reading, supporting foundational literacy development in early classrooms.
The series is organized into six instructional strands and twelve workbooks, giving schools a clear system for reinforcing foundational literacy development in PreK–Kindergarten classrooms.
Ellerton materials are designed for real classroom implementation, supporting teachers with structured practice aligned with core literacy instruction.
Ellerton materials complement core instruction with clear, classroom-ready practice that reinforces foundational literacy skills and supports consistent early reading development.
Schools and districts interested in evaluating Ellerton may request pilot materials, program documentation, and support to plan and implement a structured classroom pilot with clarity and consistency.
After submitting a request, Ellerton will coordinate with your team to deliver materials, confirm participating classrooms, and support pilot setup.
