Northwest AEA literacy consultants have collaboratively developed a powerful literacy vision grounded in scientific research and evidence-based language and literacy practices. The best opportunity for better reading outcomes involves teachers and school leaders who know how students learn to read, know what component skills are essential, and know how to match student needs to instruction on those skills.
