Teach Like Ced(TM) Cultural Sentence Strips Literacy Framework is a comprehensive, evidence-based K-3 literacy system designed to teach children how to read, write, spell, and speak with confidence and purpose.
Grounded in the Science of Reading and the Knowledge of SELF(R) (Social Empowerment Learning Framework), this series introduces a revolutionary approach to Language Arts instruction by replacing isolated skill practice with a structured, cumulative model that builds from sentences to paragraphs to essays.
Each grade level provides:
Explicit, step-by-step literacy instruction Daily sentence-based learning that reinforces phonics, grammar, spelling, and syntax Oral language development through guided speaking and reflection Culturally relevant, identity-affirming content designed to increase engagement Teacher-ready lessons aligned with state English Language Arts standards
Teach Like Ced(TM) was created to address persistent literacy gaps-particularly among African American students-while remaining inclusive and accessible for all learners. The framework empowers students not only to master academic skills, but also to develop confidence, self-awareness, and voice through meaningful literacy experiences.
Ideal for classroom instruction, intervention, tutoring, after-school programs, and home learning, Teach Like Ced(TM) equips educators with a powerful, practical system to build strong readers, writers, and speakers-one sentence at a time.
