Voyager Sopris Learning Releases New Product Editions for Reading and Writing to Support Teachers and Further Students’ Academic Achievement

Sound Partners Second Edition and Step Up to Writing Fifth Edition are available for purchase now

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Voyager Sopris Learning, part of Lexia, a Cambium Learning Group brand, announced the newest editions of Sound Partners, a research-based tutoring program to enhance early reading skills, and Step Up to Writing^®, a comprehensive program of multisensory writing strategies.

To further support teachers and students as the demands of classrooms continue to change, Voyager Sopris Learning has refined these solutions to enhance reading and writing instruction and meet the unique needs of each student.

Sound Partners

Now in its second edition, Sound Partners is a supplementary tutoring program designed to enhance early reading skills. The program uses research-based strategies that align to the science of reading and emphasizes decoding, word identification, and spelling skills. It integrates these skills into storybook reading practice, applying word-reading strategies in context, and includes oral reading sessions to reinforce learning. Sound Partners benefits students learning to read in grades K–1 and provides intervention for students in grades 2–3.

New to this edition of Sound Partners is a revised layout for easy lesson delivery; robust Tutor Lesson Book; new, consumable Student Lesson Book(s); and an updated Scope and Sequence to reflect the latest research.

Step Up to Writing

Now in its fifth edition, Step Up to Writing is a comprehensive program of multisensory writing strategies that develop students’ ability to create thoughtful, well-written compositions. The solution’s explicit and systematic approach to teaching writing is designed to provide clear strategies, methods, and support for increased writing success in all content areas. Created for all students, the strategies can be integrated into any curriculum or implemented as a standalone writing solution.

Step Up to Writing has been updated to help educators explicitly teach every aspect of writing students need to meet state standards. Strategies not only teach the three text types—informative/explanatory, opinion/argumentative, and narrative—but also many of the standards in reading, speaking and listening, and language and literacy standards in history, social studies, science, and technical subjects.

Other updates include a completely redesigned educator interface to easily access, search, and favorite tools and resources needed for effective delivery of Step Up to Writing; a new format for on-demand teacher training; and new, consumable student Handy Pages that serve as a tool for both reference and practice.

“Our team at Voyager Sopris Learning works hard to ensure all students are adequately prepared to read and write at or above grade level,” said Cassondra Mantovani, VP of Revenue and Operations, Voyager Sopris Learning. “We have worked hard to ensure these updated editions of our reading and writing programs will provide the additional support needed to meet the challenges of today’s educational landscape. We’re excited to finally get them into the hands of teachers and students.”

The new versions of Sound Partners and Step Up to Writing are available for purchase now.
