Hi from Keegan!
Meet the teacher
Hi, I’m Keegan!
I’m a special education teacher, and I made Orthos for the kids I kept seeing: students in grades 4 through 9 who still need help with the basics of reading, but who are way too old for cartoon bunnies and picture-book topics.
So everything here is built for them. Real topics like sharks, Pompeii and the Titanic. Decodable text that follows a clear sequence. Pages a middle schooler won’t be embarrassed to pull out in class. And answer keys, because you have enough to do.
