Accreditation worries
We’ve met exhausted teachers and frustrated school leaders who are at their wit’s end as they search for literacy tools and resources that work.
Your school deserves better.
Evidence-based resources for excellence
Root Literacy Design knows that our students and educators need evidence-based instruction in the science of reading so that students are positioned for success in school and beyond.

“[Your team is] personable, open, able to answer questions with experience, has lots of expertise, and creates an environment of trust, honesty, and vulnerability.”
Kate Cushing,
Dean of Curriculum and Instruction, Humanities -
"Once we developed our collective way, we had a momentum and a power behind us as a team. And it became much more than the 'Right to Read says you must' and more 'What do our students need?'"
Brandee Lapisky,
K-8 Director -
"We've seen a lot of growth in foundational reading skills with students receiving interventions. We now have a more robust knowledge as a staff of what the science of reading looks like and what it can look like at the secondary level."
Genevieve (Vivi) Schultz,
High School Principal -
"I appreciate how everything is custom and tailored for our school. Root Literacy Design acknowledged our reality and worked to build things that work in our context."
Molly Tracy-Harris,
K-5 Reading Specialist
