Strategic Partners
The Slingerland Literacy Institute seeks to build strategic partnerships with organizations sharing a common passion to promote and maintain high quality, research-based literacy instruction for all. Strategic partners can include public schools, independent schools, school districts, and community organizations.
Becoming a strategic partner with the Slingerland Literacy Institute creates public recognition for organizations that fully engage with the most effective, available classroom literacy program - the Slingerland Approach.
