IOWA CITY, Iowa, September 29, 2026 — WordFlight®, a Foundations in Learning literacy intervention solution, recently launched new research-backed resources—including an e-book, quiz, discussion guide, and grade-specific observation checklists—to support educators with reading intervention and instruction. All of the resources are available to download for free on a website dedicated to Fluency for All, a movement spearheaded by Foundations in Learning to improve reading outcomes nationwide, particularly for adolescent students in Grades 3-8.
“Whether you’re a teacher working directly with students or an administrator leading literacy improvement across your school or district, these resources are designed to support high-quality, research-backed reading instruction and create a common language around what that instruction looks like with today’s students,” said Allison Zimmermann, CEO of Foundations in Learning. “By making these resources freely available, our goal is to encourage educators to make reading fluency a shared focus, exchange ideas, and continue the conversation about effectively supporting students as they develop the skills needed to be confident and fluent readers.”
Educators can use the new resources to:
- Learn six research-based principles that make reading practice more effective and how to apply them to help students bridge the gap between decoding and reading fluency
- Assess their understanding of the foundations of reading fluency
- Understand their quiz results and spark deeper literacy conversations with fellow teachers, instructional teams, and school leaders
- Identify students who may be struggling to develop automatic word recognition—the key missing skill essential for reading fluency—using grade-specific observation checklists
On Fluency for All, educators can also read case studies highlighting how schools are successfully supporting students’ reading growth, learn about grant opportunities, and more. Additional resources will continue to be added to the site throughout the year to provide educators with continued support.
