Georgia

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

Overview

Georgia prioritizes early identification, structured literacy, evidence-based intervention, and strong family-school partnerships to help more students become confident readers. As districts work to strengthen reading outcomes and support students who need additional instruction, they are looking for approaches that accelerate student learning while complementing existing district initiatives. Springboard Collaborative supports those efforts through evidence-based intervention, meaningful family engagement, and educator support aligned with Georgia's literacy priorities.

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.
