Tuesday, September 29, 2026 - 31 minutes

Today's interview with Bloomfield Schools staff about the district’s efforts to improve literacy and reading skills among students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The literacy coaches explain how they work with teachers to strengthen instruction through the science of reading, structured literacy, professional development, and data-based interventions.

A major focus is identifying students’ specific needs early and providing targeted support so that no student falls behind. The discussion also emphasizes the important role of parents and families in supporting children’s reading development at home.
