27TALKT4 | Foundational Skills K-3 Curricular Materials Reviews | RFR

DESE is seeking a qualified vendor to review the full set of K‑3 foundational‑skills curricular materials and provide public reports indicating which materials meet statutory criteria for inclusion on the state‑approved list. The work is performed at no cost to the Commonwealth and may be extended through up to four annual renewals. • Produce publicly‑available reviews covering print concepts, phonological awareness, phonics, word recognition, and fluency. • Identify and flag any materials that rely on three‑cueing/MSV approaches. • Provide a clear approval designation (e.g., green/yellow/red) and be available for periodic DESE phone calls. • Deliver the reviews in an easy‑to‑navigate format and cooperate on adding Massachusetts‑specific information.
