In the ever-evolving landscape of education, providing students with the high-quality resources they need to succeed is a top priority for every school administrator. For educators at nonpublic schools in Maryland, a significant opportunity has arrived.

In 2021, North Carolina’s Excellent Public Schools Act set the wheels in motion for elevating explicit, evidence-based instruction and advancing student literacy gains statewide.

Literacy is the foundation for academic achievement, lifelong learning, and opportunity. Yet many students struggle to develop essential reading and writing skills—often due to gaps in phonics, fluency, vocabulary, or comprehension. Literacy intervention provides targeted, research-based instruction to close those gaps and help every learner reach proficiency. In this article, we’ll explore why literacy intervention matters, what effective intervention looks like, and how Voyager Sopris Learning delivers proven solutions for students from early elementary through secondary grades.
