Efficacy

Radical growth, undeniable results

Lenses on Literature evolved out of a central question: How can we design instruction from the assumption that every student can read, think, and write creatively and confidently using complex, grade-level tasks and texts?

To find the answer, educators and experts across 40+ states joined to form the Literacy Design Collaborative (LDC) and prove this is possible for all students.

LDC found that students using the Lenses instructional model gained, on average, 4-9 months of additional learning in one school year.

TESTIMONIALS

What do ¡Qué chévere! users say?

Carla Whitehead

Spanish Teacher and Department Head

By far, this is probably the best textbook series, and I've taught out of three different sets.

Chad Smith

Spanish Teacher

For world language teachers, we're used to having to create all of our own resources. So having that in a one-stop shop where we can just go and pick—it's a definite time saver.

Elizabeth Blosser

Spanish Teacher

I have absolutely seen a difference in my students' speaking performance. They love saying "Qué chévere!" in general because I told them what it means. [...] They're applying what they see in the videos, what they hear, and what they're working on in the textbook.
