October is Dyslexia Awareness Month—a reminder that many children struggle to read because of dyslexia, and that the right support can change everything. At NCIL, we’re proud to have spent almost 10 years helping families and educators apply practical, evidence-based strategies—both in classrooms and at home—to build literacy skills and confidence.

For teachers, coaches, and school leaders, our expert, Dr. Julianne Masser, created a new Guide to Instructional Coaching, with an overview of instructional coaching and practical resources you can use right away, such as job descriptions, goal-setting templates, and other downloadable forms.

Our new Benchmark Effectiveness & Actionable Core Outcomes Navigator (BEACON) app turns screening data into meaningful insights about the effectiveness of core instruction and interventions across classrooms, grades, or even schools.

Did you see the winners of this year’s Clash of the Heroes? Our annual contest provided students with the opportunity to showcase their creative talents in an exercise that incorporated core aspects of literacy. Their professionally designed posters are live, and the one-page comics are coming soon.
