We want every teacher to be successful.
Research shows that 95% of students CAN learn to read when they have instruction based on the science of reading, but only 32% of students are reading proficiently. And while teachers are the most essential factor for student success, only a quarter of teaching institutions effectively prepare them for literacy instruction. Because teaching reading requires a deep understanding of the processes and science behind it, we want every teacher to have access to the information they need to be successful.
