Be a Smart Consumer
By now, you are aware that all early literacy programs are not the same.
Publishers of early reading programs and materials also vary widely - especially in their commitment to implementation support and professional development for teachers.
It is important for school leaders to learn as much as possible about the early literacy publisher you are planning to work with - not only about the company's products but also about how they work with districts and schools to get the reading program up and running and to ensure the ongoing success of the program, teachers, and students.
Use the tools on these pages to evaluate prospective early literacy vendors and see which can best serve your district's needs.
