Exciting Availability of SPIRE for NYC Educators
Educators in New York City now have an exciting opportunity to enhance their literacy teaching strategies. The SPIRE program, developed by EPS Learning, has made its way into the FAMIS portal, allowing educators to integrate effective foundational skills intervention into their classrooms for the new academic year.
Why SPIRE Stands Out
SPIRE is not just another reading program; it's a comprehensive, evidence-based curriculum specifically designed for grades PreK-8+. With over a decade of successful implementation, SPIRE focuses on delivering structured literacy instruction using Orton-Gillingham principles, ideal for students in Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions, including those diagnosed with dyslexia and learners in special education programs.
Core Benefits of SPIRE
One of the key strengths of SPIRE is its commitment to individualized learning. This program incorporates various pedagogical strategies to meet the diverse needs of students. Through systematic and explicit instruction, SPIRE provides engaging lessons that are adaptable to different classroom dynamics. This ensures that each learner can achieve proficiency and mastery in reading fundamentals.
Innovative Teaching Techniques
Moreover, SPIRE employs multisensory techniques to enhance the educational experience. These methods engage students not only visually but also audibly and kinesthetically, fostering an effective learning environment. The program puts a strong emphasis on phonological awareness, ensuring students understand the relationships between sounds and letters, which is crucial for reading development.
Acknowledged Excellence
EPS Learning is proud to announce that SPIRE has achieved a Level 3 certification for its alignment with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) standards. This recognition underscores the program's effectiveness and reliability in improving literacy outcomes for all students, especially those who require additional support.

New York City educators looking to purchase SPIRE can easily do so through the FAMIS portal, promoting a streamlined process that allows for quick and efficient acquisition of literacy tools. This access not only enhances the teaching experience but also empowers educators to support their students in achieving academic success.
