The first instructional portal of the HERU ecosystem. A comprehensive Structured Literacy platform that prepares students to enter the Rodriguez Text-Tagging Method (RTTM) comprehension framework.
Your literacy pathway, progress, and mastery.
Class roster, stage mastery, interventions.
Your child's progress and RTTM readiness.
Platform-wide metrics and enrollment.
Phonological awareness — rhyming, syllables, sound matching, and auditory discrimination. The listening foundation for all later decoding.
Rapid, automatic letter-name and letter-sound recall in both isolated and sequence form, including letter formation.
Systematic sound–symbol correspondence: blending and segmenting consonants, vowels, digraphs, blends, and common patterns.
Morphological awareness — syllables, affixes, roots, and spelling generalizations — to read and spell multisyllabic words.
Accuracy, rate, and prosody at the phrase, sentence, and connected-text level with appropriate scaffolding.
Transition from foundational decoding into the comprehension demands of the Rodriguez Text-Tagging Method — sentence-level meaning, main idea, and basic RTTM entry skills.
Complete the Bridge to RTTM stage to unlock the HERU Reader comprehension pathway.
Kojo guides students through every Foundations stage with adaptive prompts, sound-and-word support, and encouragement — then transitions seamlessly into the comprehension coaching role once RTTM begins.
