What happens when schools pair direct, explicit reading instruction with a system designed to make it work?
Across the Archdiocese of Los Angeles (ADLA), schools are combining direct, explicit reading instruction with the schoolwide structures needed to help every student succeed.
Through Success for All, teachers use consistent, research-based instructional practices supported by cooperative learning, ongoing assessment, tutoring, and coaching. In just one trimester, the share of students reading on grade level across ADLA increased from 45% to 53%.
