At Kristine Nannini’s Classroom, everything we create is built around one goal: helping teachers deliver meaningful, research-based instruction with confidence.
Over the years, we’ve developed several signature instructional frameworks that have become the foundation of our approach to teaching literacy. These systems were created to provide teachers with clear instructional pathways, practical classroom tools, and explicit teaching support in the areas where students often need the most guidance.
Rather than offering disconnected activities or one-size-fits-all resources, our frameworks are designed to help teachers implement proven instructional practices that lead to deeper student understanding and stronger academic growth.
Whether you’re looking to strengthen reading comprehension, improve writing instruction, support struggling readers, or help students analyze poetry with confidence, these signature systems provide the structure, guidance, and resources needed to make implementation simple and effective.
Below, you’ll find four of our most popular instructional frameworks that have helped thousands of teachers bring high-quality literacy instruction into their classrooms.
The Targeted Comprehension Intervention System was created to help teachers explicitly teach the comprehension skills struggling readers need most. Instead of relying on reading levels alone, this framework breaks comprehension down into targeted, teachable skills using differentiated passages, scaffolded instruction, ready-to-use lesson plans, and built-in progress monitoring.
Designed specifically for below-grade-level readers, this system helps teachers provide meaningful intervention support while building comprehension confidence, closing skill gaps, and making small group instruction far more effective and manageable.
The Ultimate Reading Toolkit was created to help teachers strengthen reading comprehension instruction within the core classroom using engaging, skill-focused practice that students can actually access and apply. With differentiated passages, scaffolded comprehension activities, and explicit strategy support, this framework helps students deepen their understanding of key reading skills while giving teachers ready-to-use materials that make instruction more effective and manageable.
Designed for on-grade-level instruction, this toolkit helps students build stronger comprehension habits, think more critically about text, and apply reading strategies with greater confidence and independence.
The Poetry and Prose Classroom Collection was created to help teachers confidently teach poetry, drama, and prose in a way that feels clear, engaging, and meaningful for students. With explicit instruction, high-interest mentor texts, ready-to-use lessons, and skill-based comprehension activities, this framework helps students move beyond surface-level understanding and truly analyze how different types of literature work.
Designed to make these often challenging standards more approachable, this collection gives teachers the structure, support, and instructional tools needed to build stronger literary analysis, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension skills throughout the year.
The Paragraph Success System was created to help teachers explicitly teach students how to write strong, organized paragraphs with confidence. Instead of expecting students to “just write,” this framework breaks the writing process down into clear, teachable steps so students understand exactly how to develop sentences, organize ideas, add supporting details, use transitions, and write complete paragraphs from start to finish.
With ready-to-use lessons, interactive practice, anchor charts, and scaffolded writing support, this system helps students move beyond staring at a blank page and begin writing with greater clarity, structure, and independence.
