About AERO

The mission of AERO is to enhance children’s opportunities for successful living by providing them with an individualized, research-based reading intervention curriculum. Based on over 10 years of research and the science of reading, the AERO program gives teachers, tutors, and other educators an innovative and efficient online platform to help students succeed as readers.

The AERO Reading Curriculum is a comprehensive supplemental early reading curriculum with lessons for providing Tier 1, 2, and 3 small-group instruction. There are over 200 lessons in the AERO Reading Curriculum covering 78 units of instruction. Each lesson consists of multiple activities that are carefully and systematically sequenced to allow students to develop the skills and strategies they need to read independently and well.

This evidence-based curriculum concentrates on explicit instruction in letter names and sounds, phonological awareness, phonics, text reading, and fluency. It also includes vocabulary and comprehension support. A placement assessment allows early readers at any level to jump in with a lesson that provides the targeted support they need. Progress monitoring measures allow the teacher to individualize the pace of instruction according to a student’s mastery of content.

AERO is a fully online resource.  AERO lessons and assessments are delivered using CLI Engage, CLI’s online platform providing resources for educators and families of children starting at birth, and continuing to Pre-K and elementary.
