How do we improve reading comprehension for struggling students and students with disabilities? Emerging evidence suggests ALIGNED INSTRUCTION (coherent application of comprehension practices within and across classrooms) makes a difference!

For Fall 2026, we are seeking to partner with 5th grade teams who are ready to explore the POWER OF ALIGNED READING INSTRUCTION in their school. Teachers will receive free professional development, all lesson materials, and stipends.
