MTSS for Reading Improvement becomes a lifetime bestseller

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 25,000 copies sold! MTSS for Reading Improvement: A Leader's Tool Kit for Schoolwide Success by Sarah Brown and Stephanie Stollar has officially become a lifetime bestseller. Published by Solution Tree, the book gives leaders a practical framework for building a multitiered system of supports (MTSS) that improves reading outcomes across their schools. It first reached bestseller status last year, selling more than 10,000 copies in just three months.

Drawing on evidence-based practices and decades of collective experience, Brown and Stollar show how schools can use reading data to guide improvement. The book offers step-by-step guidance for designing effective reading supports and for aligning assessment with instruction. It also shows leaders how to guide collaborative teams through the work and how to build a culture where data drives decision making across the entire school. 

MTSS for Reading Improvement is designed specifically for school and district leaders looking to create lasting, systemwide literacy improvement.

Educators and experts across the country have praised the book for helping schools translate the science of reading into meaningful action.

"There is no shortage of resources to help educators understand the science of reading and how it can be translated into instruction. This book takes it a step further, providing a much-needed road map for educators to make the science of reading a reality in their school by using an MTSS framework. The activities and agendas provided are fantastic and will serve as useful tools for teams of educators to reflect on their current systems and translate the book into meaningful action that benefits all students."
