The ROOTS of Learning™ Model

​

• Resilience: Children develop the ability to persevere through challenges. Literacy growth requires persistence, and we foster environments where mistakes are part of learning and perseverance leads to success.

• Opportunity: Every child deserves equitable access to high-quality literacy instruction. ROOTS emphasizes creating opportunities for learners to explore, question, and succeed—regardless of background or experience.

• Observation: Educators, mentors, and families play a critical role in noticing and responding to each child’s needs. Observation ensures instruction is responsive, intentional, and supportive of individual growth.

• Training: Literacy skills develop when children engage in meaningful, hands-on practice. ROOTS reinforces the principle that learning happens by doing—through guided reading, interactive activities, and repeated exposure.

• Self-Belief: A positive self-image fuels motivation. ROOTS prioritizes affirming children’s identities and cultivating confidence, so every learner sees themselves as capable, intelligent, and prepared to succeed.

Science of Reading Fidelity + Real-World Implementation

​

• Scalable Frameworks: From single schools to districtwide rollouts, TRA builds consistency without losing flexibility.

• Reliable Staffing: Every LIA is fingerprint-cleared, background-checked, and trained in classroom management, safety, and early literacy routines.

• Measurable Growth: Real-time dashboards and data summaries help principals and instructional coaches see progress—student by student.

• Teacher Retention: By placing trained support staff in every K–3 classroom, we help teachers focus on teaching, not triage.
