Survey Reveals 60% of District Leaders Are Dissatisfied with the Effectiveness of Adolescent Literacy Programs
New survey findings from Lexia show that schools lack the professional development, age-appropriate reading materials, and data needed to impact adolescent literacy outcomes BOSTON, February 20, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Many school district leaders1 are committed to integrating the science of reading principles into instruction. However, 60% are dissatisfied with the effectiveness of their current adolescent literacy programs, according to a new survey commissioned by Lexia, a Cambium Learning Group brand. The fall 2024 survey findings are published in a new report titled, "Literacy Update: The State of Adolescent Literacy Programs", and was conducted with district leaders who are not currently using Lexia science of reading-based solutions. More than half of respondents report that teacher training, time, and staffing are top concerns. Fifty-seven percent of district leaders say they need more professional development in the science of reading for middle and high school teachers, and 57% need more time in their schedule to focus on literacy improvement because so many students are reading below or far below grade level. In addition, 55% report that attracting and retaining literacy educators is one of their greatest challenges. District leaders also state that, based on feedback from teachers and students, several other aspects of their adolescent literacy programs need improvement as well. Thirty-six percent of respondents say they need better literacy teaching strategies, 33% need more age-appropriate materials for adolescent readers, and 32% need real-time data to improve their implementation plan. The survey also reveals gaps in support for students with dyslexia and emergent bilinguals. More than half of respondents (57%) are not confident that their Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention strategies are adequate for successful outcomes for adolescent readers, and 52% need more teachers on staff who can support secondary English language learners. "The survey findings indicate that while a majority of leaders are committed to aligning literacy resources with the science of reading, many districts need more support and guidance to translate these principles into effective classroom practices for adolescent students," said Lexia President, Nick Gaehde. "The good news for districts is that Lexia has for more than 40 years led the science of reading revolution helping educators create real literacy change by combining high-quality resources and teaching materials with professional learning that's tailored to the specialized needs of middle and high schools. Districts can create programs that are more impactful for both students and teachers and lead to stronger adolescent literacy outcomes." Gaehde continued, "with our comprehensive suite of professional learning curriculum, and embedded assessment solutions, we continue to stand ready to help schools connect educator knowledge with practical classroom instruction to accelerate literacy gains so more learners can read, write and speak with confidence." Survey method This survey was conducted online within the United States by Nickel Communications on behalf of Lexia from October 8 to October 30, 2024, among 250 adults ages 18 and older who are K-12 school district leaders in the U.S. Interested educators can also download an infographic "Literacy Update: The State of Adolescent Literacy Programs," that highlights the survey's key findings.
