In January 2024, FluentSeeds became the newest member of Collaborative Classroom’s family of resources.
Kate Horst created the SEEDS of Learning™ model over 30 years ago through a collaboration with the University of Minnesota and involvement in the Minnesota Early Literacy Training Project. Since that time, SEEDS has moved through Reading Corps PreK, Early Reading First Grants, the Kenneth Rainin Foundation, CARES for Learning, FluentSeeds, and is now part of Collaborative Classroom. SEEDS has undergone rigorous independent evaluations that prove its efficacy in preparing children for kindergarten and reading by grade 3.
We leverage training, observation, and feedback as critical levers to monitor progress toward a shared vision of confident and capable learners.
The data collection methods taught through our model ensure that adults are able to tailor their interactions based on the child’s developmental stages.
