Brighterly's Approach to Texas ELA & Reading Standards
In Texas, the educational landscape is shaped by its own distinct set of standards, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), which were developed independently and never adopted Common Core. This means that Brighterly’s curriculum for English Language Arts & Reading is precisely tailored to meet the unique expectations and learning objectives set forth by the state.
Our 1:1 reading and ELA lessons are thoughtfully structured to align with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) – English Language Arts & Reading, ensuring that every Houston student engages with content directly relevant to their school’s curriculum. We focus on developing core literacy skills, from foundational reading to advanced comprehension and analytical writing, all within the TEKS framework.
For early learners and those building foundational reading skills, our methodology is informed by the Science of Reading and Structured Literacy (Orton-Gillingham aligned) principles, directly supporting TEKS objectives for phonics and decoding. For broader ELA, we incorporate strategies like the Gradual Release of Responsibility, Knowledge-Building / Content-Rich Literacy, and Close Reading to foster deep understanding and critical thinking across all grade levels.
