Leading the Way: School Administrators and the Science of Reading
School administrators are pivotal in driving literacy transformation by embracing the science of reading, a comprehensive body of research that focuses on how children learn to read, emphasizing phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
This infographic highlights how informed decision-making and consensus-building around the science of reading can significantly enhance literacy outcomes. For instance, North Carolina’s Moore County Schools experienced substantial improvements in K–3 reading achievement after implementing Lexia® LETRS® training. Administrators like Ashlee Ciccone have noted fewer students needing reading interventions and special education referrals.
“Our implementation of the science of reading has created an intense focus on the research-based best practices that support all students as readers,” Ciccone said. “As educators, our team is truly empowered to ensure every student will become a proficient reader.”
Teachers echo these sentiments, praising the science of reading for its impactful and systematic approach to early literacy instruction. Lexia’s professional development programs, like LETRS and Lexia Aspire® Professional Learning, support educators in making data-driven decisions, improving teacher performance by 25%, and creating equitable learning experiences to narrow the achievement gap by 20%. Lexia’s user-friendly technology solutions also reduce implementation challenges by 35%, making it easier for schools to adopt these powerful literacy tools.
Empower your educators and engage students with Lexia’s tools to lead the way in literacy excellence.
