Purpose
Unlock Your Teach BIG VAULT
More resources. More possibilities. More ways to help students grow.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to put more possibilities into teachers’ hands, giving you a wealth of additional RLA resources to strengthen instruction, spark participation, and help you take the next best step with your students.
You already bring the dedication, creativity, and commitment. The Teach BIG VAULT gives you more to work with.
When you subscribe to our interactive games platform and year-round lesson slide deck platform, plus ONSTAGE or TBASE, or both, you unlock an extensive collection of additional RLA resources at no additional cost. It is our way of adding even more value to the tools you use to teach, practice, assess, and respond to student learning.
Think of the VAULT as a resource room with the door wide open: a place to discover possibilities, find fresh inspiration, and bring something purposeful to your next lesson. Whether you are revisiting a challenging concept, looking for another way to engage students, or preparing a meaningful extension, the goal is the same: less time searching for what to do and more time helping students move forward.

Three Platforms Open the Door. Four Bring It All Together.
Unlocking your VAULT begins with two platforms that put instruction and practice within reach:
The Interactive RLA Games Platform Bring learning into action with interactive experiences that give students opportunities to practice their skills and participate in the work of reading, writing, revising, and editing. Choose purposeful practice that connects to what you are teaching.
The Year-Round Slide Deck Platform Keep focused instruction ready throughout the school year with standards-based daily slide decks. The slide deck sets bring together class slides, teacher scripts, and student response tracking sheets, helping you connect what you teach with what students demonstrate.
Then choose the assessment platform that fits your instructional needs:
ONSTAGE provides multiple-choice practice in reading, revising, and editing, helping you examine student performance and identify where instruction should go next.
OR
TBASE provides instant essay grading, helping you move from reviewing written work to planning the next instructional response.
Choose one assessment platform for a three-platform subscription, or choose both for a four-platform subscription.
Either qualifying combination unlocks your VAULT. You do not need all four platforms to open the door.
More Than Extra Resources. More Ways to Respond.
A lesson does not always end with every student ready for the same next step.
One student may need a concept explained differently. Another may need additional practice. A group may be ready to apply its learning in a new way. And sometimes, a teacher simply needs a fresh approach to bring an important idea back into focus.
That is the purpose behind the VAULT.
We want you to have more options when you ask, “What would help my students now?” Not more materials to sort through without a purpose, and not more work simply to keep students busy. More opportunities to make an intentional instructional choice.
Use your VAULT resources to complement a lesson, revisit prior learning, add variety to practice, or build on what an assessment reveals. Let the learning need guide the resource you choose, not the other way around.
Your platforms help you teach, practice, and assess. Your VAULT gives you more possibilities for what comes next.
An Added Benefit of Bringing Your Tools Together
The VAULT is not another platform you must add to your qualifying subscription. It is an included benefit of choosing a connected set of Teach BIG tools.
You are building a practical combination: daily instruction, interactive practice, and assessment that helps inform your decisions. The VAULT adds a generous collection of RLA resources to support that work, without an additional VAULT subscription charge.
Because the goal is not simply to have more resources.
The goal is to have more ways to make a difference.
Choose Your Platforms. Unlock Your VAULT. Teach BIG.
