Cover Story: Despite decades of research investigating the cognitive development of reading and effective instructional practices, teaching students to read remains a complex act. One reason may be the relatively limited research investigating the practices of highly effective reading teachers. This study identified high-performing grade-level teams and conducted focus group interviews to determine the factors they attribute to their students' reading growth. The research team found that these effective teams engaged in frequent collaboration, adapted curricular materials and instruction to align with data-identified student needs, and strategically leveraged school personnel to promote foundational reading skills. View this paper
