Literacy Audits
Equitable access to high-quality literacy development supports the realization of ambitious futures for all students. The literacy audit will help your district identify priority areas of focus to improve literacy outcomes for students.
The Problem
The Literacy Audit is a service that evaluates and enhances school district literacy programs by aligning them with the Science of Reading. It reviews current practices to classify them as aligned, somewhat aligned, or not aligned with effective reading instruction, providing a clear roadmap for improvement. The process includes a comprehensive review with district and building leaders, empowering them to implement necessary changes. This strategic approach ensures that all educational practices are optimized for the best literacy outcomes, promoting consistent and effective reading instruction across the district. Ideally, with guaranteed and viable curriculum, supportive resources, and a system of interventions in place, the vast majority of students can learn to decode by second grade and be skilled and competent readers by graduation.
