ROYO aligns to 16 standardized phonics curriculums, including new grade-specific CKLA 3, CKLA 4, and CKLA 5 options, plus 300+ built-in Fry Sight Words.
"Will this actually fit what we're already teaching?" It's the question ROYO hears more than almost any other from teachers and administrators — and it's the right one to ask. A reading tool that fights your existing curriculum instead of reinforcing it just adds work, not results.
A misaligned reading tool creates two problems at once: students juggle inconsistent phonics patterns, and teachers do extra translation work just to make it useful. ROYO is built the other way around — instead of introducing a separate scope and sequence, it generates personalized, decodable books that reinforce the phonics skills already being taught, so practice time reinforces classroom instruction instead of competing with it.
ROYO aligns to 16 standardized phonics curriculums used in classrooms nationwide:

Curriculum is chosen once, when a teacher creates a class in ROYO, and every book generated follows that scope and sequence. Teachers can also adjust the sequence at any time, based on student needs or instructional pacing.
As students move into grades 3–5, literacy instruction expands beyond foundational phonics to increasingly complex, knowledge-rich texts and morphology. ROYO now aligns to the individual CKLA scope and sequence for grades 3, 4, and 5 while reinforcing the grade-level morphology skills students are learning, including prefixes, suffixes, Greek and Latin roots, and multisyllabic word analysis. The result is personalized reading practice that complements CKLA's knowledge-building approach while continuing to strengthen foundational word-reading skills.
Yes — every ROYO plan includes 300 built-in Fry Sight Words that teachers can choose from, so students practice the highest-frequency words in English alongside whatever phonics program their school already uses. Pro plans add Custom Sight Words by Student, for teachers who want to target specific words for an individual student.
Creating a class in ROYO takes a couple of minutes, and curriculum selection happens right at setup — choose the curriculum a class should align to, and every book ROYO generates from that point follows the same scope and sequence or teachers can adjust the sequence based on what fits their lesson plans.
Pro Tip! Have students reading at different levels? Create multiple classrooms with different scope and sequences to meet each group's needs. For example, one small group might practice foundational skills using a K–2 curriculum, while another is ready for morphology instruction aligned to a grades 3–5 scope and sequence.
How many phonics curriculums does ROYO support?
16 — see the full list above, including the newly separated CKLA 3, CKLA 4, and CKLA 5 options.
Does ROYO offer CKLA alignment by individual grade?
Yes. As of this year, ROYO offers CKLA K-1, CKLA 2, CKLA 3, CKLA 4, and CKLA 5 as separate alignments, rather than bundling grades 3-5 into one option as is typical elsewhere.
Does ROYO support sight words alongside phonics curriculum alignment?
Yes — 300 Fry Sight Words are built into every plan, with Custom Sight Words by Student available on Pro plans.
Do I need to manually match books to my curriculum?
No — curriculum is selected once at class creation, and ROYO automatically generates books aligned to that scope and sequence from that point forward. Each student can be on a different skill of the scope and sequence depending on their reading level.
