Description
Literacy Footprints is a Guided Reading system designed for classroom teachers, intervention, ELL, Special
Education teachers, and support staff who are teaching children to read and write. Each of the guided reading
kits contains sequenced, high-quality leveled texts in a variety of genres. Students will encounter traditional
tales, realistic fiction, fantasy, and informational text. The lesson cards that accompany the books follow Jan
Richardson’s Next Step
lesson format (Richardson, 2009 and 2016). Each lesson includes word study and
phonics instruction based on The Next Step Forward in Word Study
(Dufresne and Richardson 2019). Each guided reading kit also includes component materials designed by Jan
Richardson and Michèle Dufresne to consistently support teachers throughout the lessons.
