Why Wayside for CI
The Best Choice for Comprehensible Input (CI)
At Wayside, we know that the key to learning a language isn’t just practice—it’s understanding. That’s why our Comprehensible Input (CI) products are designed to immerse students in meaningful, understandable language right from the start.
I love your readers. My students felt like they could read French after just 20 days!
—M.
McHugh, French Teacher, New Jersey
CI Done Right
We combine the best of CI techniques with stories that keep students engaged. Our readers are crafted to give learners the input they need—language that’s just a little bit challenging but always understandable. The result? Students aren’t just memorizing; they’re acquiring language naturally.
Built for Real Progress
We focus on giving students lots of quality input before asking them to produce language. It’s like filling a toolbox with all the right tools before expecting students to build something. With Wayside, learners absorb the language and can confidently start using it when they’re ready.
Engagement Meets Expertise
Our readers aren’t just entertaining—they’re backed by expert language educators like Kristy Placido, who knows exactly how to combine great stories with language-building strategies. That’s why teachers trust us, and students can’t put our books down!
The Smart Choice for CI
Choosing Wayside means giving students a language-learning experience that works. We prioritize real comprehension and progress over rote memorization. Going with another company that doesn't offer this focus on input would be a step backward for your students' language growth.

The Wayside Approach
Pioneering Methods with Exceptional Results
Evolving with Research
At Wayside Publishing®, our expert team understands proven teaching methods and helps refine them. We support educators in using ESSA Tier 4 documents to implement evidence-based practices. Our logic model is used for efficacy reviews, ensuring that our materials meet the necessary criteria to be effective.
Designing Backwards
To achieve the goal of student proficiency, Wayside uses backward design. We start by defining what students should know and be able to do. Then, we develop assessments in all three modes of communication and create lessons and activities to support student learning.
Cultivating Interculturality
With Wayside, students experience a uniquely intercultural classroom. Our programs foster connections to local, national, and international cultures. They promote exploration of personal and community identities and broaden understanding of other cultures as different rather than foreign.
Differentiating Instruction
Wayside recognizes that students learn at varied levels, which is why we provide a differentiated instructional approach. With activities in Learning Site’s Instructional Strategies Toolkit and formative assessments in each unit, educators can customize the learning experience to meet individual needs.
Setting the Standard
Engaging Learners
Our Comprehension-Based Readers engage learners and facilitate language acquisition through compelling, comprehensible stories. Designed to build fluency through comprehensible input, the stories use a manageable amount of vocabulary and many cognates. Activities on our Learning Site align to ACTFL proficiency guidelines.
Wayside's product development team utilizes proven research that meets the evidence standards defined in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Our logic model details the methodology behind Wayside's products and visualizes how we use research to achieve desired learning outcomes.
Certified Effective Language Learning
The Center for Research and Reform in Education at Johns Hopkins University has conducted a third-party review of our materials and certified that Wayside Publishing products meet ESSA Tier 4 evidence standards. This empirically demonstrates that our products are effective for language learning and delivering measurable outcomes for students.
Ensuring Your Security
As of January 2025, Wayside achieved SOC 2, Type 2 compliance following an audit by Prescient Assurance, confirming that our customer data security meets industry-standard practices.

1
Ability to communicate:
Teaching for proficiency focuses on using the target language in realworld contexts. It’s a shift away from learning grammar for grammar’s sake. Communicating with authentic language helps students see that learning a language develops valuable skills that they can use beyond the classroom.
2 Five Reasons To Teach for Proficiency
Grammar & vocabulary in context:
Teaching for proficiency encourages educators to teach grammar and vocabulary in context and not in isolation. Teaching grammar and vocabulary this way helps students see the language as a form of communication, not just a list of rules or words to memorize.
3
Real-world knowledge:
Authentic resources allow students to use language the way it is naturally spoken outside of the classroom. These activities help learners use language as a vehicle to share and gain knowledge, whether they are communicating in the interpretive, interpersonal, or presentational mode.
4
Clear learning targets:
Essential Questions and unit goals, Can-Do Statements, and rubrics help demystify students’ goals and help learners self-reflect on their progress. Rubrics let students see what is appropriate for their proficiency level so they can start stretching themselves to reach the next level.
5
Success in the target language:
Engaging activities and tasks using authentic resources at the right proficiency level encourage students to want to use the target language. Once students get a taste of being able to successfully understand and be understood in another language, it will motivate them to keep learning.

Sight Reading Latin for the AP® Latin Exam
Scandite Muros readies students to scale the ever-intimidating “wall of Latin.” Use the classroom-tested strategies to incorporate regular sight reading into your Pre-AP®, AP®, and advanced Latin classes.
From verb endings to participles to subjunctives, each chapter takes on the toughest elements of Latin and makes them accessible and compelling to every student through effective learning strategies, AP®style multiple choice questions, and passage-specific vocabulary lists.
Designed to incorporate online and in-class learning, class time is spent on initial translations as learners practice identifying genre, lyric meters, prose types, and language patterns. Learners apply what they have learned to sight reading independently, so that class discussion and assessment cements the skills and confidence they will need for the exam, college, or law school.

My relationship with Wayside has been one of the highlights of my teaching career. One year I helped 40 students pass the AP® exam with 5s and 4s. Great service and great books. Thank you.

Correlations to IB themes support planning and reporting. IB themes and goals are intertwined naturally into units. Opportunities for reflection encourage self-management skills, metacognition, conceptual understandings, and interculturality.
Assessment mirrors instruction. Along the pathway to proficiency, students acquire language through performance-based real-world tasks that are carefully sequenced and rooted in the five prescribed themes.
With units built around rich cultural topics and compelling Essential Questions, EntreCulturas and EntreCultures are the perfect fit for our IB Middle Years Programme.
