Texas

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

Overview

Texas prioritizes evidence-based literacy instruction, accelerated intervention, and high-quality instructional materials to improve reading outcomes across the state. As districts work to implement these priorities and support students who need additional instruction, they need solutions that improve student outcomes while complementing existing district initiatives. Springboard Collaborative helps districts improve student outcomes through evidence-based intervention, family engagement, and educator support that complement Texas' 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.
