@image /content/dam/pebblegodev/community/GettyImages-827319880.jpg Building literacy independence for all students, especially English language learners, struggling readers, and students with special needs, requires more than a single strategy. It takes a coordinated approach that blends accessibility, differentiation, and gradual release of responsibility. For instructional leaders, the challenge is finding tools that not only meet individual learner needs but also align with district goals for equity and achievement. The PebbleGo Suite was designed with that mission in mind. Capstone’s comprehensive, multi-modal solution to early literacy and content learning combines our award-winning PebbleGo platform with thousands of leveled eBooks and companion print titles. Together, these resources give educators and coordinators a scalable way to scaffold instruction, ensure access to grade-level content, and build equitable pathways toward literacy independence. At the classroom level, this means struggling readers and English language learners benefit from structured support that gradually shifts responsibility to the student. The PebbleGo Suite makes this progression possible by providing scaffolds at every stage, allowing learners to move forward at their own pace and grow into confident, independent readers. [b]Read-Aloud Audio [/b] Start with read-aloud audio to model fluent reading. Example: In the Crocodiles K–2 article, students listen to the read-aloud in the Body and Habitat sections. Audio highlights the text as it’s read, helping students connect spoken words to print and reinforcing vocabulary like <i> reptile </i> and <i> predator </i>. @image /content/dam/pebblegodev/products/Read%20Aloud%20Audio_Screenshot.png [b]Tiered K-5 Articles[/b] Move into tiered article structures, giving educators the flexibility to support emerging readers with accessible texts while also challenging more advanced students to deepen their reading skills, all within the same platform. Example: In K–2 content, the Crocodiles article introduces Body, Habitat, Food, Life Cycle, and Fun Facts in short, supported text. In 3–5 content, the article expands to What Are Crocodiles, Body, Habitat, Food, Behavior, and Life Cycle, providing more detail and complexity, allowing students at different levels to engage with the same topic while progressing in independence. @image /content/dam/pebblegodev/products/croccc.png [b]Leveled eBooks and Print Books[/b] Transition into providing standards aligned eBooks and print books, ensuring students can find texts at their level while progressing to more complex titles independently. Example: In K–2, students might read the eBook A Crocodile Grows Up, which uses simple text and photos to show growth and life stages. In 3–5, students could tackle print books like Crocodile vs. Deinosuchus, which add higher-level comparison, text features, and critical thinking opportunities. @image /content/dam/pebblegodev/products/croc%20ebook%20and%20book.png @h5 Reading Growth for Every Learner When educators have the right tools and supports in place, every student can thrive as a reader. The PebbleGo Suite equips schools with the resources to scaffold instruction, accelerate literacy growth, and ensure equitable access for all learners. It’s everything your district needs to build literacy—on the page, on the screen, and across every classroom.
