Date & Time: Thursday, March 27th at 2 p.m.

Schools are under increasing pressure to get their students back to reading on benchmark, and the downtrend of national average reading scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) test show the issue extends to districts all across the nation. New research says the right high-quality intervention can make all the difference. But how can you tell if an intervention is truly high-quality?

In this webinar, Little Rock School District’s Assistant Superintendent will explore the high-impact intervention strategies that resulted in 75% of students in grades 1-5 receiving one intervention, closing all kindergarten-level skills gaps last school year, with growth levels continuing into 2025.  In two months, these interventions have also reduced the percentage of students stuck on beginning of year first-grade skills by 50%.

Key Takeaways: 

  • Research Insights: Studies on evaluating the effectiveness of reading interventions
  • Proven Approaches: Strategies to accelerate growth in foundational reading skills
  • Implementation Excellence: Best practices for integrating structured literacy interventions in your district

District leaders who attend this presentation will come away with actionable tips to help them choose the right interventions to accelerate reading growth and close achievement gaps in their district.

***Attendees will be able to safely download the “Step-by-Step Guide to Building a District Literacy Ecosystem,” which includes free resources and a timeline to help guide district leaders through the implementation process.
