This companion to the landmark classroom-focused Reading for Understanding gives schools and districts clear, concrete guidance, tools, and examples to improve the reading of students in middle school through college.

Reading Apprenticeship practitioners across the country address how to:

  • Generate authentic buy-in from teachers and administrators
  • Create Reading Apprenticeship communities of practice that sustain an institutional focus on a student-centered culture of literacy
  • Use formative assessment to promote teacher and student growth
  • Roll out systemwide plans for implementation
  • Use the Reading Apprenticeship Framework to turn reform overload into reform coherence
