Science of Reading Week for School Administrators Infographic

If you're leading literacy transformation in your school, you know it requires more than a new curriculum. It demands aligned systems, knowledgeable leadership, and sustained commitment. That's exactly what education leaders, university researchers, and literacy practitioners explored during Science of Reading Week (October 6–8, 2025).

Over three days, panelists shared honest conversations about what's working in science of reading implementation across pre-K–12. From strengthening Tier 1 instruction in early grades to engaging secondary students who view reading as a chore, these were so much more than theoretical discussions. They were practical insights from leaders who have navigated this transformation in their own districts.

Why This Matters for School Leaders

The webinar series addressed challenges specific to administrators: how to build instructional coherence when you've accumulated too many programs, what to look for during classroom walk-throughs when you're still building your own literacy knowledge, and how to sustain momentum over the 4–5 years it takes to reach 95% reading proficiency.

Day 1 focused on early readers and why investing in robust Tier 1 instruction reduces intervention demands. Day 2 tackled elementary grades, exploring de-implementation and protecting practice time. Day 3 centered on adolescent literacy, including strategies for student agency and training content-area teachers in literacy practices.
