Here's What People Are Saying About Our PD!

Informative and Relevant!

K-5 Literacy Coach

The content has been so informative and relevant, and the presenters are engaging and knowledgeable. The facilitators do an amazing job connecting the material to experience, answering questions to clarify information, and creating opportunities for meaningful interactions between participants. The skills and resources I've acquired through participating in this PD have made an invaluable impact on the reading abilities of children in the classrooms I serve.

Learning the WHY

The best thing about Literacy Masterminds is learning the science and the WHY behind everything we were learning. Having the tools and deliverables to immediately implement and do the work with our students has been so helpful. I would absolutely recommend The Literacy Architects' PD to a colleague who wanted to grow in their understanding and practice of teaching kids how to read!

The most responsive PD I have EVER done!

I love how adaptable this PD is and they actually listen to feedback and make changes almost immediately. This has been the most responsive program I have EVER done. This program has really helped me to build my skillset. I feel way more confident now in my ability to teach and identify phonics gaps. I HIGHLY recommend this program to anyone looking to gain more insight about foundational learning skills and the Science of Reading. Thank you so much again and I look forward to taking more classes!
