Build your weekly slide deck around the TEKS you need to teach. Teach by TEKS gives you the flexibility to select individual standards from reading, revising, editing, and writing and combine the corresponding class slide decks into one customized, merged deck for the week ahead. Include standards from all four areas, or concentrate on the ones your students need most.
Created by The Writing Academy®, LLC, Teach by TEKS brings teacher choice and prepared instructional resources together. You determine the focus, and our TEKS-specific Triplet Slide Decks provide coordinated instruction, teacher guidance, and student practice to support your plan.
Supplemental Practice That Follows Your Core Curriculum
Whether your school uses Bluebonnet, HMH, Savvas, or another core RLA curriculum, Teach by TEKS helps you keep supplemental practice aligned with the standards you are already teaching.
Begin with the TEKS identified in your core curriculum’s lessons for the coming week. Select the matching standards and individual breakouts in Teach by TEKS, then merge the corresponding slide decks into a resource that supports those same instructional goals. Students receive additional opportunities to practice and apply the skills introduced in their core lessons, while you maintain a clear connection to your curriculum’s scope and sequence.
You might combine a reading comprehension standard, a revising skill, an editing concept, and a writing standard into one weekly deck. Or you might focus your selections on just reading and writing, or a single standard that needs more attention. The combination reflects your instructional priorities and your students’ needs.
Your Selections, Supported by the Triplet System
Each TEKS-specific Triplet provides three coordinated resources:
- Class slide decks with the standard, purpose statement, essential question, assignments, and teaching tools that guide students through the five thinking levels.
- Teacher scripted lesson plans with a corresponding page for every slide, including what to say, what to do, and guidance for responding to student questions and misconceptions.
- Two-sided student tracking sheets for recording whole-group learning, completing independent practice, and responding to an assessment-style question.
These connected resources help you plan with clarity and teach with confidence, with instructional support and student practice already prepared for the standards you select.
A Flexible Resource for the Next Best Step
Use Teach by TEKS to introduce concepts, reinforce current learning, review previous standards, or prepare focused instruction for small groups and tutorials. When TBASE or OnSTAGE results identify a need for additional support, select the related TEKS resources to help students take their next best step.
Teach by TEKS helps you spend less time searching for supplemental materials and more time providing purposeful practice that connects directly to what your students are learning.
