Inspire Engaged and Confident Readers
In the latest Project Tomorrow study, 54% of teachers said they are spending 60% or more of their class time helping students develop reading competency. Reading proficiency is essential for students to succeed not just in English classes, but across school subjects and beyond. As educators seek new strategies to support student literacy development backed by the science of reading, Project Tomorrow and Thorndike Press partnered together to evaluate the efficacy of large print books on student reading engagement and achievement.
During the 2023–2024 school year, Project Tomorrow conducted a study with roughly 1,500 elementary, middle, and high school students and over 50 teachers and librarians nationwide. Their findings illustrate impactful results: large print is a simple literacy intervention that positively influences both student reading skills and mindsets. Teachers reported that students were more engaged readers, had increased comprehension, and enhanced overall reading fluency when reading large print—from below-grade-level readers to students diagnosed with ADHD to English learners.
