Florida

Accelerating literacy learning when it matters most. Early screening and evidence-based instruction drive measurable growth in K-3 classrooms.

Overview

Florida's literacy priorities emphasize early identification, evidence-based intervention, family engagement, and ongoing progress monitoring to help more students read proficiently by third grade. As districts work to strengthen reading outcomes and support students who need additional instruction, they need solutions that accelerate student learning while complementing existing district initiatives. Springboard Collaborative helps districts improve student outcomes through evidence-based intervention, family engagement, and educator support that complement Florida's priorities and B.E.S.T. Standards.

What partners say

Springboard creates a space where families feel comfortable coming into the building and talking about literacy. Even parents who may not be strong readers themselves feel comfortable unpacking their struggles and naming them. It's been transformational for our community.
