From Data to Daily Practice: A Pennsylvania Leader’s Guide to Structured Literacy

You’ve committed to implementing the science of learning, but this is just the starting point for building a coherent literacy system. The challenge now is turning data into meaningful instructional action and ensuring that Structured Literacy is actually happening in every classroom. This guide helps Pennsylvania school and district leaders move beyond compliance to build a coordinated literacy system grounded in the science of reading.

This practical guide begins the day after screening results are available, helping leaders analyze data, identify the root causes of literacy gaps, strengthen instruction, and create targeted intervention groups with confidence. The guide also provides actionable strategies for classroom walkthroughs to promote instructional consistency and connect professional learning to daily teaching practice.

You will learn how solutions like Lexia® Core5® Reading, Lexia® PowerUp Literacy®, myLexia®, Lexia® LETRS®, Lexia Aspire® Professional Learning, and Lexia® English Language Development™ meet Act 135 requirements while advancing equitable literacy outcomes for every learner. Discover how adaptive instruction and evidence-based professional learning, paired with real-time progress monitoring, help reduce intervention needs and strengthen core instruction building-wide.

Whether you are refining your Structured Literacy implementation or scaling systems across your district, this guide offers the leadership moves and practical tools needed to transform screening data into sustained literacy growth.
