Introduction
These are unprecedented times. Like many of you, we continue to follow the development around COVID-19 with hope and reflection and as promised, we have been working on ways to support educators and students in this uncertain time. This shift to remote learning has prompted many questions related to access and permissions from our valued Fountas & Pinnell Literacy™ customers. In partnership with Irene Fountas and Gay Su Pinnell, Heinemann will provide temporary teacher access to these Fountas & Pinnell Classroom™ resources.
Fountas & Pinnell Classroom™ Guided Reading (FPC GR), K–3:
- Starting the week of April 27, FPC Guided Reading teachers (K–3) who have an FPC GR account will have temporary, teacher-only, digital access to their guided reading books via their Online Resources.
- A document titled, Suggestions to Support Literacy Learning, is now available in your Online Resources account.
- We grant temporary permission for you to use your print or digital FPC GR books in a closed digital environment. Please follow the guidelines outlined below.
Fountas & Pinnell Classroom™ Shared Reading (FPC SR), PreK–3:
- Starting the week of April 27, teachers who have an FPC Shared Reading account will have temporary, teacher-only, digital access to their shared reading books via their Online Resources.

We grant temporary permission for you to read aloud the shared reading books in a closed digital environment and/or to record a lesson in a closed digital environment using your print or temporary digital shared reading book.
