Indiana Department of Education Approves Savvas Learning Company's myView Literacy, Grounded in the Science of Reading, for Indiana's K-5 Classrooms

After an extensive review process, IDOE officials placed myView Literacy on their Indiana High-Quality Curricular Materials Advisory List, determining that myView fully met the state's 2023 Indiana Academic Standards and its literacy standards aligned to the Science of Reading.

Combining powerful Science of Reading-based instruction with engaging student-centered practice opportunities, myView Literacy is designed to develop strong readers and writers, improving learning outcomes for all students. The program features exciting authentic literature and interactive resources, and its daily foundational-skills instruction follows an easy-to-teach sequence that's proven to increase reading achievement and close skills gaps.

Designed by leading literacy scholars and authors, myView's evidence-based pedagogy has been determined to meet ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) Level 2 Evidence for its positive impact on learning outcomes.

"At Savvas, we believe literacy is the foundation of all learning. This belief is what drives us to provide educators with rigorous, standards-aligned, and evidence-based literacy programs that help all students become strong readers and writers," said Bethlam Forsa, CEO of Savvas Learning Company. "We are excited that the Indiana Department of Education has chosen our innovative literacy solution — as well as our high-quality math and science programs — that focus on developing the skills students need for success, in the classroom and in life."

In addition to approving myView Literacy for statewide adoption, the IDOE also deemed Savvas Learning Company's math and science programs "high-quality instructional materials," aligned to the new Indiana Academic Standards for Mathematics and Science, and approved them for statewide use.
