See how background knowledge can enhance students' understanding of texts and improve their overall reading comprehension at our roundtable discussion with researchers Reid Smith, Pamela Snow, and Tanya Serry. 

Well, the short answer is—the way students are taught. Students deserve high-quality materials that are thoughtfully structured and sequenced to enhance learning and retention. Find out how our innovative lesson structure—Launch, Learn, Land—puts cognitive research into action and makes learning more enjoyable.

Teachers should have as many opportunities to expand their knowledge as their students, especially when it comes to the curriculum they teach. Research shows that high-quality materials alone boost student success by 6 percent, but pair them with professional learning, and success soars to 9 percent (Short and Hirsh 2020). Supporting teachers isn't just important—it is essential to student achievement.
