- This record describes SPIRE 4th Edition, a component of the SPIRE Literacy Suite, rather than the entire suite. The CDE 2026 follow-up review lists SPIRE Suite and identifies SPIRE Up, SPIRE 4th Edition, and SPIRE Sound Sensible as included programs. The suite was reviewed for K–5 foundational skills; that review scope should not be treated as the supported grade range of this individual component. The review-panel recommendation is advisory and does not establish final State Board adoption. Source: https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/rl/im/documents/epslrngspiresuitek5.docx. EPS describes the audience as PreK–8+; Project Monarch represents PreK as TK and tags TK–8 because the plus range is not a discrete grade span.
