We hope you're finding time this summer to recharge and celebrate the progress made throughout the school year. As districts begin planning for the year ahead, recent NAEP results serve as an important reminder that reading growth remains a challenge for many adolescent learners, reinforcing the need for ongoing support, strategic planning, and targeted instruction.
Students can decode accurately and still struggle to understand what they read. In our recent webinar, experts explored the roles of vocabulary, oral language, inference-making, syntax, and semantic reasoning in helping students make meaning from text.
Districts have adopted a stronger curriculum, expanded professional learning, and aligned instruction to the Science of Reading. In this CEO Perspective, Karl Rectanus explores how district leaders can turn those investments into consistent classroom instruction that drives stronger literacy outcomes.
Grades 3–5 mark an important shift in literacy development as students encounter more complex text and higher comprehension demands. Learn how districts and schools can align curriculum, instruction, and intervention to support reading success during this critical transition.
Decodables provide structured practice that helps students apply newly learned skills in connected text. With age-appropriate content for readers from kindergarten through high school, they support accuracy, fluency, confidence, and comprehension.
Support Science of Reading instruction with hands-on tools that complement any literacy curriculum. Phonics Kits, Spanish Phonics Kits, Syllaboards, Letter Tiles, and other classroom resources help reinforce foundational skills through active practice, making them ideal for core instruction, intervention groups, tutoring, and summer learning programs.
Planning for next year starts now. Take a moment to confirm your school, role, and state so the resources, professional learning, and literacy insights you receive match where you teach and what you're planning. It takes less than a minute — and makes sure nothing relevant gets missed before the new year begins.
