Alabama is making meaningful gains in reading—and it’s no accident.
Since the passage of the Alabama Literacy Act in 2019, we’ve seen a clear shift toward evidence-based instruction grounded in the Science of Reading, and the results are showing.
💡 What’s driving this success?
✅Teachers implementing explicit, systematic, and diagnostic instruction
✅Early identification of reading difficulties and targeted instructional support
✅Ongoing progress monitoring and intentional planning for all tiers of instruction
✅Job embedded professional learning facilitated and supported through student-centered coaching
✅A statewide commitment to doing the work that matters for students
This is what happens when policy meets practice—and when educators lead the way.
👏 Alabama teachers are showing what’s possible when we commit to evidence-based practices that make a difference for every child.
Every child. Every chance. Every day. ❤️📚
