ÌÇÐÄVlog is planning to conduct a classroom evaluation study focused on the implementation of Corrective Reading in your district. The study will examine student growth in reading during the 2026–2027 school year. Additionally, we will examine how the program is used and get your feedback about its impact on student engagement and reading ability. We invite grades 3 through 12 classes throughout the district to participate.
