Proven Programs for Maximum Impact

RGR programs are grounded in the Science of Reading and independently validated by EdReports, Evidence for ESSA, and The Reading League, with our professional learning certified by Rivet Education.

But the real impact happens when teachers bring this research to life through meaningful instruction. Our Rivet-certified professional development builds educator capacity, ensuring instruction is aligned to best practices and supported by evidence-based design. By connecting research to classroom implementation through expert guidance, educators can effectively implement RGR programs from day one with confidence and consistency.
