Literacy Development
Helping students become healthy and productive super citizens begins by developing them as super readers—avid readers who consume texts with passion, understanding, and a critical eye. On the Super Reader Professional Learning Pathway , we work with educators to implement instructional practices that infuse social-emotional learning (SEL) into everyday literacy instruction to foster confident readers who thrive in a supportive and responsive classroom environment.
