We’re thrilled to share that the Readable English program is featured this week in The 74, a national education news outlet! The article highlights how Firebaugh Middle School in California’s San Joaquin Valley is transforming literacy outcomes for English learners using our unique glyph-based approach.
Read the full story on how Firebaugh Middle School improved EL reading outcomes in The 74.
In the article, principal Gerrett Suárez shares how the support of the glyphs is helping students decode words accurately and make tremendous progress. And, perhaps most importantly, he notes that students are more confident, they want to read.
We’re honored to be part of the success at Firebaugh Middle School and inspired by their story. It’s a powerful testament to what’s possible when schools give students the right tools - and it’s a great example to share with district leaders, EL directors, curriculum coordinators, and school boards who are looking for proven ways to support multilingual learners.
If you're interested in seeing how Readable English can support your students, or want help introducing it to others in your district, contact us today. We're here to help you bring this kind of success to your school community.
