Strategies to Create a Culture of Reading in Schools

School districts are under enormous pressure to boost students’ reading skills, from early grades through high school. Many states and school systems are trying to invest in research-based strategies to make that happen. But beyond the work of teaching key skills, schools face a broader problem: How can teachers and school district leaders ensure students are reading enough?

School districts and individual educators are taking creative steps to build students’ reading stamina and grow their reading volume, from classroom strategies to public campaigns.
