Educator Cadre

Our cadre of veteran teachers from urban, suburban, and rural classrooms across the country were vital in helping us make Reading Universe an effective resource for educators.

    “I love meeting with the Reading Universe Cadre monthly. It is a powerhouse of expert minds in education from all over the country. We have exceptionally rich conversations about the best practices in reading instruction. I know for sure that the product would be just as exceptional and most importantly, an amazing resource for teachers!”

    “I plan to use RU as a resource to teach reading more sequentially. It allows me to see what skill a student struggles with the most because the curriculum is designed in sections or blocks. The site gives me clear direction on teaching the specific reading skill and provides materials I can use.”

    “Getting to collaborate with other educators who are as passionate as I am about reading is a breath of fresh air! Seeing that others want to be agents of change encourages me to continue to fight for research-based practices, because I know they are what works.”
