REEF Teaches

Items on the Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) Alternate Assessment include questions about Familiar Texts, which students are expected to have read and been exposed to before taking the assessment. DLM has created lesson plans to support instruction aligned with the familiar texts. 

Download your one-stop Familiar Text Lesson Plan Library (created by REEF) to easily access ALL the standards-aligned Familiar Text Lesson Plans and the accompanying Familiar Texts! 

What's that Benjamin Franklin quote? "If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail." 

How about that quote from the teacher down the hall, "Planning is hard and time-consuming, and my plans never seem to work out!" 

Both are so true! 

But we have to try to plan our days and our students' schedules to ensure we make time to teach the skills they need to succeed! Check out the free planning tools below.

 REEF is currently designing an application to help teachers efficiently and effectively plan appropriate lessons and instructional activities directly aligned with the DLM Essential Elements and Linkage Level skills. 

REEF is currently seeking teacher input and feedback on the app's functionality.
