2025 TOOLS TEACHING EVIDENCE-BASED
Dear Educators, At Root Literacy Design, we believe in the power of teachers. That's why our mission is to create evidence-based tools that empower every educator to teach reading and writing effectively. Our resources are developed alongside real teachers and are classroom- tested to ensure they work. By applying the principles of the science of reading, our tools are designed to strengthen any curriculum and support a Structured Literacy approach. We are committed to creating materials that are multicultural and applicable for all ages, so every student can learn to read and write. We believe in giving back and supporting educators. That's why 10% of our store's profits provide decodable books to K-12 educators teaching foundational literacy, helping to support literacy for all.
Until all of our students can read and write,
Heather Ballantine Founder, CEO, & Current Educator
