Meeting the Virginia Literacy Act Standards with Whole Phonics

As Virginia school divisions transition to the requirements of the Virginia Literacy Act (VLA), Whole Phonics provides the structured literacy tools necessary to ensure every child becomes a proficient reader. Our decodable readers and workbooks provide the "heavy lifting" of phonics practice that translates to classroom success.

  • Nature of Approval: Whole Phonics is listed on the VDOE Intervention & Supplemental Instructional Program Guide. Our program, specifically Reading Ready for Whole Phonics and our Level One materials, has been reviewed and approved for use as a supplemental tool to reinforce foundational skills.

  • Focus Area: Approved for Phonics in Grade 1. Our materials are recognized for their alignment with science-based reading research (SBRR) and provide the explicit, targeted practice required under the VLA.

  • Implementation: Ideal for Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions to help students reach benchmark goals.
