Education & Opportunity

Accelerating Literacy

Ensuring students receive research-based reading instruction and educators are trained in the science of reading.

A child’s ability to read is a fundamental skill for a successful future.

State leaders play a direct role in ensuring all children have access to a quality education. The Bush Institute works to:

Help state leaders understand how the ability to read unlocks opportunity for people and why following a science of reading approach is essential for student success.
Highlight success – both in the classroom and in how we prepare and support educators to teach reading effectively.
Push for teacher preparation and professional development programs to use the science of teaching reading in their materials and approach.
