Programs and resources are only part of our commitment to developing confident, independent readers, writers, thinkers, and learners.
Professional Support Every Step of the Way
We recognize the vital role that educators play in motivating and engaging students, modeling effective reading and writing strategies, and personalizing instruction for students' diverse learning needs.

“Ten minutes a day of focused silent reading has the potential to change a child’s academic life, and that might, in turn, change her life’s trajectory.”
—Kylene Beers & Bob ProbstOur professional learning specialists and coaches work side by side with your teachers, literacy coaches, and leaders to make the most of independent reading opportunities.
