The Santa Barbara Reading Coalition www.sbreads.org advocates for improved literacy outcomes for all public schools in Santa Barbara County. Our mission is to help achieve 90%+ reading proficiency scores for all students through Science of Reading-based instruction. The Reading Coalition meets regularly with members of the SBUSD school board, educational community groups, business leaders, political figures, teachers, union leaders, and participates in community outreach. We document and share proven strategies and best practices working with districts that have successfully transitioned to the Science of Reading https://sbreads.org/success-stories/ so we can achieve similar success here.
