"This recognition affirms our commitment to providing educators with powerful, research-driven tools that not only close literacy gaps but also inspire confidence and growth in every student." 

Grounded in the science of reading, Reading Accelerator is a highly effective, affordable intervention solution for elementary and middle school students whose comprehension levels have stalled due to persistent gaps in their decoding abilities. Teacher-directed lessons work in tandem with online assessment and personalized, AI-powered reading practice via the Reading Assistant platform. Flexible enough for small-group or whole-class use, Reading Accelerator makes it possible for striving readers and multilingual learners to close skill gaps and accelerate progress toward reading proficiency.   

Teachers can get started after just one day of professional learning and continue learning as they implement the program. The program addresses essential phonics and decoding skills, strengthens fluency, and supports vocabulary and comprehension development in concise 20-minute lessons that can be implemented in as few as 11 weeks during the school year. It also offers a summer school sequence, emphasizing syllabication and vowel teams, to give students a head start on improving their literacy skills before the next school year begins. —making it ideal for summer learning.
