Science of Reading: Translating Data to District Success

Explore the success story of educators at Mooresville Graded School District, located in Mooresville, North Carolina, where the rapid impact of science-based literacy instruction speaks for itself. After just one year of implementation, their students outperformed state averages in 70% of assessed foundational literacy skills, demonstrating the power of this approach to drive significant growth across multiple reading proficiency levels.

Discover the power of implementing the five pillars of reading instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. These pillars form the foundation of effective reading instruction, and each plays a crucial role in developing a student's reading skills—as district leaders in Mooresville Graded School District (MGSD) discovered. 

Hear from MGSD’s Director of Elementary Instruction Jemma Conley about how Lexia® LETRS® (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) professional development, a comprehensive professional learning program that provides educators with the knowledge and skills to teach reading and spelling effectively, has transformed their approach to literacy instruction, providing teachers with deeper understanding and practical strategies. This training had a direct impact on the positive student outcomes the district has seen.
