With 67 percent of 4th graders reading below grade level, schools need interventions that really work. Join Ignite Reading CEO Jessica Sliwerski in conversation with district and school leaders using high-dosage, one-to-one virtual tutoring to successfully close student decoding gaps at scale.

Panelists including the Superintendent of Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, Assistant Director of Curriculum and Instruction at Revere Public Schools, and CEO of Alpha Public Schools will share how tutoring fits into their literacy ecosystems to close foundational reading skills gaps for students who need extra support—getting results where other reading interventions didn’t.

Key takeaways:

  • How do districts effectively close decoding gaps for multilingual learners, students with IEPs, students of color, and students receiving free or reduced-price lunch?
  • How does a high-dosage reading intervention fit into a literacy ecosystem to give students of all levels the reading instruction they need?
  • What does high quality data provide to help teachers and literacy specialists target reading instruction in the classroom?
  • What are school and district administrators saying about the outcomes Ignite Reading is achieving and the effect the program is having on their students?
