The Roadmap to District Literacy Success (A Practical Guide for School Leaders)

Lead schools that drive literacy success for every student.

Strong literacy outcomes in schools and districts do not happen by chance. They are the result of clear leadership, coherent systems, effective instruction, and intentional implementation.

In The Roadmap to District Literacy Success, Jessica Hamman, founder of Glean Education and nationally recognized literacy expert, provides practical guidance for building the systems that support meaningful student literacy improvement. Grounded in the Science of Reading research-base and rooted in Structured Literacy implementation, this book helps leaders build the knowledge and skills they’ll need to create the conditions that promote student literacy success in their organizations.

Through actionable guidance, implementation-focused strategies, and real-world case studies you will learn how to:

• Build coherent, sustainable literacy systems within a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) framework
• Use assessment and data to guide instructional decisions
• Align instruction and intervention with evidence-based Structured Literacy practices
• Support teachers with meaningful professional learning and coaching
• Lead literacy change with clarity, purpose, and consistency

Whether you are leading a single school or an entire district, this guide will help you create systems that turn literacy vision into lasting results.
