Who We Are

Read Side by Side is a literacy consulting and publications company that promotes current research practices and materials aligned to the Common Core State Standards. Started by teachers, for teachers!

We are currently promoting our patented program, "The C. I. A. Approach", which teaches readers how to collect critical information, interpret the text, and apply the author's message to their lives. To learn more about this approach, read through our program brochure, purchase the book Raising the Standards Through Chapter Books, or look inside our CIA Units of Study.
