Science of Reading Implementation

We work with states (& districts) that mandate science of reading programs. Through this work, we build capacity to ensure that teachers, school, and district leaders have the skills and abilities to be able to teach reading using these methods.

Most recently, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) hired Ed Elements to create systems and increase capacity for their Texas Reading Academies (TRA). In fact, we supported more than 86,000 learners by the end of 2021-2022 and an estimated 133,000 learners by the end of 2022-2023.

Success Stories

After having worked with Education Elements for 5 years to refine its approach to instruction and implement personalized learning, the Enlarged City School District of Middletown in New York refined its own practices and habits to ensure the sustainability of initiatives in the long term.


As the 15th largest district in the country, Wake County Public School System was faced with keeping up with the demands of a rapidly growing population. WCPSS worked with Education Elements to design a new "personalized learning school" from the ground up, with a fresh approach to traditional structures and processes along the way.

Syracuse City School District struggled with low proficiency levels in math and ELA, and partnered with Education Elements to support instructional transformation across all schools. We developed the capacity of school teams, and connected their vision to district guardrails, resulting in significant improvements for students and staff.

Implementation Guidance
Change Will Always Be a Priority

States and districts are often focused on requiring substantial change. 

Most recently, the focus has been on Science of Reading. But, in previous years, many districts focused on blended learning implementation, or the adoption of new standards, establishing 1-1 laptop programs.

Student Driven Data
Sustained Change is Hard

It’s not unusual for districts to find that making change that moves the needle is hard. 

Just look at our national NAEP scores - relatively the same as they were 30 years ago; or not every state has been able to match the reading success of the “Mississippi Miracle”
