SHORT, SHORT, BIG!

Created for teachers by teachers to address ELA learning loss.

Short, Short, BIG! is a standards-based toolkit for students in the 350–790 Lexile Range that elevates students' evidence-based reading and writing skills through a proven methodology that includes reading comprehension lessons and grammar instruction. Everything you need is included. Additional teacher support is available with Master Class professional development.

Alan Sitomer has partnered with educator Dr. Katherine McKnight to distill all their decades of teaching tools, tips, and tricks into one ultimate toolkit for reversing ELA learning loss. Short, Short, BIG! is designed to take students in the 350-790 Lexile Range through a program of short reads, short writes, resulting in BIG gains! In our pilot programs, our students’ evidence-based writing scored 130% higher on average after just 10 weeks of instruction, and their ELA test scores increased an average of 164%!
