Just Right Reader

This is the impact we hope every student experiences! Not just reading more books. But feeling confident. Feeling successful. Feeling excited to pick up the next one. We won't stop smiling about this story! #ScienceOfReading

Families want to help their children read. The challenge isn't a lack of care. It's knowing where to start. The most effective family engagement strategies give caregivers: 📚 Books their child can successfully read 🎯 Clear skills to practice 💡 Simple guidance and strategies they can use every day When families feel confident, reading practice becomes part of everyday life. Strong readers are built in school, at home, and everywhere. Ready to start the new school year with a strong read-at-home plan? https://hubs.la/Q04pvKds0

The decisions you make in July shape the entire school year. As you prepare for the new year, you’re thinking about how to support every student, empower every teacher, and build strong partnerships with families. We put together a guide to help district and school leaders think through key literacy priorities during back-to-school planning. ➡️ https://hubs.la/Q04p40RW0

If you're implementing literacy instruction grounded in the Science of Reading, decodable books should be part of the conversation. What they are. Why they work. How to use them effectively in your classroom. Three top literacy experts weigh in: https://hubs.la/Q04lfRSx0

Sometimes, all it takes is the right book to change how a child sees reading. We love this story from our partners in Beaufort County, NC: “Seeing the students excited about reading because of the topics, the characters they can relate to, and the fun stories has been a game changer… Just Right Reader defies all the misconceptions about decodable books.” There’s a common misconception that decodable books are dull, disconnected, or too robotic to truly engage students. But when students connect with the story, see themselves in the characters, and are drawn in by vibrant illustrations, they don’t just read, they want to keep reading. Decodables can be joyful. They can be relatable. They can be powerful for accelerating reading achievement.

"The QR codes on each book have been a great support for our families, helping them understand the phonics skills their children are learning." When families understand what their child is learning and how to help them, reading achievement accelerates. Stories like this one from Redeana Smith at Caldwell County Schools, NC, are exactly why we do what we do! #ScienceOfReading #LiteracyLeadership
