A4 - There is no “right” reading program. Instead of spending so much money on programs, provide teachers with high-quality professional development opportunities that allow them to develop a theory of reading that guides their teaching decisions. #G2Great

Don't buy a program.
Don't add more interventions.
Don't spend additional money.
Don't look at new curriculums.

Want to get learners where they need to be?

Do bring staff together.
Do decide on common beliefs & practices.
Do redesign Tier 1 with impact built-in.

This works.

An emphasis on early literacy can help students succeed later on. Ladders to Literacy is a fully immersive reading and writing summer program for K-2 students. It integrates literacy skills with classes like art, music and PE. Watch: https://t.co/0kMTEiChmP
