Built to Change the Trajectory of Struggling Readers in Grades 3–8

RGR partners with districts to pinpoint exactly which literacy skills students are missing, deliver intervention matched to those needs, and track progress against it. We also work with districts earlier, strengthening core reading instruction from PK–3.

When Reading Gaps Follow Students, Every Subject Gets Harder

Districts have made meaningful investments in evidence-based curriculum, professional learning, assessment, and intervention. Yet reading performance can still vary widely across classrooms, schools, and student groups.

Districts need to know whether instruction is addressing student needs, whether intervention is working, and where support needs to change.

Curricular Gaps Were Driving Intensive Intervention Demands
If Students Aren’t Making Progress, Something has to Change

When foundational reading gaps persist, district teams need to understand what is getting in the way. That means looking beyond broad performance data to identify the specific skills students have not yet mastered and whether instruction or intervention is addressing those needs.

For more than 20 years, RGR has helped districts turn reading research into practical decisions about instruction, intervention, and educator support so more students make measurable progress.

Turn Student Need Into a Clear Path Forward

RGR helps districts connect needs with the right instruction, intervention, assessment, and support so reading gaps can be addressed with greater precision across schools.

Where Does Your District Need Stronger Literacy Support?

Every district has different priorities, student needs, and existing systems. Start with the area where stronger support could make the greatest difference.

See How Districts Are Improving Reading Outcomes

Districts see the greatest impact when assessment, instruction, and intervention are tied to specific student needs and adjusted based on progress.

Reading Gaps Get Harder to Close With Time

When foundational reading gaps persist, districts need to identify what students need, strengthen the instructional response, and act on evidence of progress before those gaps become harder to close.
