“Decoding What Works” highlights elementary schools and early learning programs in Arizona that have made significant progress in literacy and the strategies behind their success.
Understanding what is working for these schools can serve as guidance and inspiration for educators, schools, and districts to improve literacy outcomes for their students.
Read On Arizona examined relevant data to identify schools that have demonstrated significant improvement in reading outcomes.
And because the learning that happens before children start kindergarten prepares them for reading success, we also examined early childhood formative assessment data, including language and literacy, from over 500 preschool and early learning programs.
These Arizona sites and schools are shining examples of the fact that, with the right support and instruction, we can teach our children to read at grade level.
