Testimonials

“I absolutely love the Growing Readers system! It gives teachers a strong, foundational, and systematic approach to teaching students not only how to read but also how to love reading. What I appreciate most is how it meets students right where they are as readers and provides the support they need to grow with confidence. I used to feel nervous about teaching younger students to read because I didn’t know where to begin, but Growing Readers gave me the tools, guidance, and structure I needed. It has helped me—and so many others—become stronger, more effective facilitators of readers!”

“I had the honor of participating in the Growing Readers System as a candidate, where my role was to support teachers and students in our district. Despite holding a terminal degree in Language & Literacy and having conducted extensive research in the field, I was surprised by how deeply the side-by-side coaching and shift to structured literacy practices impacted my own teaching, learning, leading, and coaching. I hope that every district has the opportunity to engage in this powerful and transformative work.”
