For decades, Lyn Stone has equipped educators with trusted professional resources grounded in the science of reading and learning. With Foundations for Life, she turns that expertise into practical, classroom-ready instruction for children.

Featuring the beloved Decoding Dragon, this engaging resource provides explicit routines for teaching spelling, writing, fluency, and word study in ways that help children truly understand how English works.

Designed especially for intervention, tutoring, small-group instruction, and home support, the book also includes routines and practices that teachers may adapt for whole-class use. By combining structured instruction with rich language knowledge, it helps students connect decoding, spelling, vocabulary, morphology, and comprehension from the earliest stages.

Practical, research-informed, and immediately usable, Foundations for Life gives educators and families clear, effective ways to support children’s reading, writing, spelling, and language development.
