Literacy

Decades of research show that implementing strategies aligned with the Science of Reading is the most effective approach to teaching all students how to read. It is critical that educators have a strong understanding of and can implement evidence-based approaches.

Flamingo Literacy equips educators with evidence-based, practical supports and professional development resources to enhance reading instruction; connects school districts to customized professional development, coaching, and instructional supports; and engages students with innovative programs and initiatives that promote reading proficiency.
