Every student deserves to become a confident reader.
For more than 20 years, Really Great Reading has partnered with educators and districts on what matters most: the reading outcomes students achieve.
Too many disconnected tools
Screeners, lessons, and progress data don’t connect.
Data without direction
Scores show who’s struggling, not which skill to teach.
Results that come too late
End-of-year scores arrive after students have moved on.
For more than 20 years, we’ve worked alongside teachers, coaches, and district leaders to help students become confident readers. What students learn has always been how we measure our success. Today we partner with districts and states in new ways to deliver it.
Helping educators turn reading science into practical instruction.
Since 2024, RGR students have mastered 19.9 million foundational reading skills.
Partnering with educators and leaders across diverse school systems.
Districts nationwide partner with RGR to strengthen core instruction, match intervention to student need, and see measurable reading progress across schools.
Instruction and professional learning grounded in the science of reading.
A teacher who motivates, cares, and holds students accountable.
So teachers and students know where they are and what to do next.
RGR Nova™, the Literacy Outcomes System (LitOS™), brings all three together in one system: the right content, support that helps every teacher lead strong instruction, and a feedback loop that shows teachers and leaders where students are and what comes next.
A skill-level diagnostic guides targeted, teacher-led lessons, with professional learning built into every one. Districts can start with Foundational Skills in Grades PK-3 or Intervention in Grades 4-8.
Three steps from where you are today to progress you can see.
Bring curriculum, intervention, and school leaders together around what students need.
Agree on the skills, students, and progress measures that matter most.
Teachers and leaders see what’s working while there’s still time to act, not after state results.
Ready to take step one?
We’ll start with your goals and the students you’re most worried about.
Independent reviews validate RGR's instructional quality and evidence base. District results show measurable progress across core instruction and intervention.

Every teacher knows what to teach next. Every leader sees progress during the year. More students become confident readers.
What does Really Great Reading do?
Really Great Reading (RGR) helps school districts improve literacy outcomes through PK–3 foundational skills instruction, grades 3–8 reading intervention, K–8 decodable practice, assessment, professional learning, and progress monitoring. RGR works alongside district teams to identify specific student needs, match instruction and intervention to those needs, and use evidence of progress to adjust support across schools.
Does RGR replace our core reading curriculum?
No. RGR strengthens the reading program you already run. Districts use our whole-class foundational skills instruction, targeted Tier 2 intervention, and decodable texts and hands-on tools alongside any core curriculum — so the investments you have already made work harder.
How does RGR reading intervention work?
RGR uses diagnostic assessment to identify the specific decoding and word-level skills keeping students from grade-level text. Educators deliver explicit, systematic instruction matched to those gaps, students practice with age-appropriate decodable texts, and progress monitoring shows whether the intervention is working or needs to change.
Is Really Great Reading evidence-based?
Yes. RGR’s approach is grounded in the science of reading and more than 20 years of literacy work with 2,000+ districts. RGR programs have earned recognition from Evidence for ESSA and EdReports. Since 2025, RGR students have mastered 15.6 million foundational reading skills — 4.2 million of those in the last quarter alone.
