IMSE Scope and Sequence with TEKS, ELPS, Concepts, and Knowledge

IMSE’s Comprehensive OG+ empowers teachers to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Informed by evidence and research, IMSE teaches reading the way science informs us the brain learns. This resource illustrates the alignment between IMSE’s grade-level scope and sequence and the TEKS, ELPS and knowledge covered throughout the program.  See below for grade-level documents,  which include pacing guidance, focus content, knowledge, and embedded regular/irregular (red words) vocabulary.

IMSE curriculum is rooted in:

• Systematic, year-long plans for phonics instruction. 
• Direct (explicit) and systematic instruction in developing grade level phonics skills within and across lessons. 
• Detailed guidance that supports teachers’ delivery of instruction. 
• Frequent and distributed cumulative review of phonics skills with cumulative practice opportunities with decodable text. 

The materials provide systematic and direct (explicit) instruction, practice, and review to support:

• alphabet knowledge and the alphabetic principle
• the development of oral syllable awareness skills, as outlined in the TEKS
• the development of phonemic awareness skills, as outlined in the TEKS 
• the development of students’ knowledge of grade-level sound-spelling patterns, as outlined in the TEKS
• accurately identifying, reading, and writing regular and irregular high frequency words 
• word reading fluency, by using knowledge of grade-level phonics skills to read decodable connected texts with accuracy and automaticity
