High-quality Science of Reading instruction for every student.

Improve Literacy Outcomes

It’s no secret that reading is a struggle for many of our students. At XanEdu, we are committed to providing all students with quality instruction, rooted in the science of reading that will help improve literacy outcomes. Welcome to the FIRE program.
What is FIRE?

Foundational Instruction for Reading Excellence (FIRE) provides a systemic, explicit reading foundation program for all students in grades 3-5. Each unit consists of 40 lessons focused on either spelling, grammar, or morphology. Lessons are organized to provide systematic, explicit instruction in these skills so that students are equipped to read, comprehend, and write about the increasingly complex grade-level texts that anchor their primary ELA instruction.
Bring FIRE to your Classroom

XanEdu is proud to partner, once again, with the Louisiana Department of Education, and to be the sole print provider of the FIRE program. Explore the content below to learn more.

About Fire Materials

Instruction is focused on three key areas: advanced spelling patterns, morphology, and grammar.
Each level features three units of instruction.
Each lesson is designed to be engaging and optimized for 10-15 minutes of interactive instruction.
Support is provided for both students and teachers, including an overview of the skill and support for diverse learners.
Every unit features two skills check-points to assess students on the skills targeted in that unit.
Lessons are designed for whole-group instruction as a complement to your core ELA program.
Note: Although these materials are typically used in grades 3-5, due to unfinished learning, or other factors, it is likely that these books will be used in a variety of models. As such, grade levels are not printed on the covers. In place of grade levels, copper, bronze, and silver are used to designate the progression.

Every grade level features a full-color Teacher’s Guide & Student Activity Book in black & white.
