WASHINGTON, DC, USA, July 31, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Footsteps2Brilliance, an evidence-based literacy company, has released a groundbreaking whitepaper revealing that school districts using its intervention strategies are tripling reading growth scores and closing the pandemic-related 3rd-grade reading proficiency gap.
The whitepaper draws on data collected from the 2023-2024 school year and shows that students who engaged with Footsteps2Brilliance’s interactive games, books, songs, and activities for just 45 minutes per week significantly improved their reading and literacy skills. Remarkably, those students who consistently used the content for 10 weeks tripled their literacy scores compared to those who did not use the platform.
“It is crucial to equip educators with effective, high-quality resources to help address the persistent literacy achievement gaps, especially since the pandemic. We are encouraged by the latest growth scores and the positive impact we’re having on student literacy,” said Ilene Rosenthal, CEO and Co-founder of Footsteps2Brilliance.
Footsteps2Brilliance’s next-generation digital tools and content are designed to be flexible and adaptable, enhancing high-quality core curriculum and facilitating data-driven, differentiated instruction. This ensures students engage in deliberate practice connected to their classroom instruction. The platform’s interactive, game-based activities foster joyful learning and a growth mindset that propels students forward. Seamless toggling between English and Spanish, along with home and after-school access, facilitates family engagement and addresses the critical needs of emergent bilingual learners.
