Our success stories
For nearly two decades, our literacy solutions and instructional practices have empowered educators to accelerate reading improvement and unleash the joy of literacy.
By June, we had more than 85% of our second graders students in Tier 1, whole-class instruction. This is such a critical learning year for kids, and we had a lot of ground to make up after the pandemic’s disruptions. We were thrilled to reach this goal.

Research in literacy education: Why evidence matters
Educational leaders can make it a litmus test to hold decisions around instructional materials up against these questions: is it aligned to the evidence? Is there efficacy? There are so many curriculum materials out there—anyone can stamp ‘science of reading’ on their product. We have to be discerning consumers.
