Charter Advocacy Checklist

Charter schools exist to approach learning differently. This gives leaders the autonomy to make decisions that align with the values and mission of your organization, but often also requires greater accountability when it comes to learning outcomes. 

While national literacy rates have been slow to improve, solutions grounded in the science of reading offer a path forward. In a highly competitive sector, where funding inequities and political uncertainty threaten stability, charter leaders can’t afford to adopt new programs without clear impact. Every investment must be justified by academic results, financial return, and enrollment growth.

Lexia® is the investment that checks all the boxes. With a proven track record of success in literacy acceleration and more than 40 years leading the science of reading revolution, Lexia offers a full portfolio of evidence-based curricular and professional learning solutions to help your charter organization achieve its literacy goals. 

The reality is a traditional, run-of-the-mill program is not going to meet the high level of excellence, innovation, and value you demand for your scholars. However, many decision-makers lack the time and resources needed to evaluate new solutions. 

This checklist is a practical, actionable framework for charter champions. It empowers internal stakeholders such as parents, reading specialists, administrators, teachers, and more with the tools to build a case for support for a science of reading program. By breaking down the case into actionable steps, any stakeholder can support leaders in evaluating this important investment and making literacy a reality for all.
