The Reading League Compass
Professional Learning
The Reading League Compass provides direction to curated content, downloadable materials, resources, videos, podcasts, articles, and connections to specific stakeholders at the classroom, district, and state levels to align classroom practice with the science of reading.
The EPP page within The Reading League Compass offers content designed to be responsive to the specific needs expressed by faculty and leaders from colleges and universities, derived from insights gained through participation in TRL’s Educator Preparation Program community of practice. It includes inspirational narratives from the field, resources for refining syllabi, and model syllabi from a diverse array of EPPs.
The educator page features a carefully curated collection of guidance and reputable, go-to resources to learn more about the science of reading and the subcomponents of literacy.
The administrator page furnishes data-driven success stories and an array of resources designed to assist building and district leaders in strategic decision-making related to staffing, instructional materials, assessments, and the establishment of systems that support effective reading instruction.
The section for policymakers and SEA leaders houses the nation’s largest curated repository of policies, legislation, guidance documents, and other pertinent resources related to the science of reading. This invaluable collection has been compiled through the dedicated efforts of state leaders from nearly all 50 states, each working diligently and strategically to promote positive literacy outcomes on a national scale.
The English learner and emergent bilingual section showcases videos from TRL’s historic 2023 Summit, an inaugural event that brought together leading experts in the field of reading science, along with advocates and specialists dedicated to EL/EB student support. The EL/EB section serves as the repository for a curated list of reading research on how best to teach English learners and emergent bilingual students.
