Literacy Matrix
The Literacy Matrix helps teachers develop the specialized skills and knowledge needed to deliver effective reading instruction.
Our online professional learning system is based on the science of reading and prepares teachers to:
- effectively teach reading
- diagnose reading issues
- intervene appropriately using research-based strategies
Participants demonstrate evidence of their learning and receive personalized feedback from expert literacy navigators.
