The sudden shift to remote learning in Spring 2020 prompted us to respond rapidly to the needs of educators and students. At that time, we digitized as many resources as were possible and made those available for teacher access. As COVID-19 continues to impact what teaching and learning will look like for the 2020-21 school year, we rounded up a list of the Fountas & Pinnell Literacy™ resources that are/will be available for remote learning into one location for easy reference.
Heinemann is working diligently to develop a secure delivery platform for student access to our collections of original student books in ways that maintain the integrity of the original print resource. Our long-term goal is to focus on constructing a more thorough, robust, fee-based subscription model that will meet present needs and lead instruction into the future. All information about the development of this model will be available on the Fountas & Pinnell Literacy™ Blog well before it impacts any part of your experience, such as purchasing or teaching.
The creation of secure, pedagogically sound tools takes time. While this development will be an ongoing process that will extend beyond the start of and into the 2020 school year, we are committed to providing the best support for teachers and students no matter where they will be required to teach and learn.
