Accelerate Literacy Growth with Reading Identity Development
When students see themselves as readers, their confidence, motivation, and achievement grow.
Leverage strengths-based insights to transform reading into a key part of who your students are.
Designed by Educators, Backed by Learning Science
A research-based approach to reading identity development that increases engagement and helps achieve long-term reading gains, particularly for vulnerable student populations.
Foundational Literacy
Expanding vocabulary and building world knowledge improve reading comprehension and increase engagement.
Engagement
Students are more engaged when reading experiences align with their interests and holistic learning needs.
Reading Identity Development
Students who identify as readers read more, seeking out and advocating for personally meaningful reading content and experiences.
Motivation and Achievement
Students who read for fun consistently achieve higher reading scores than their peers who rarely read for pleasure.
Family-Teacher Collaboration
When schools and families partner to support meaningful reading routines at home and in the community student learning accelerates.
