    “Magpie Literacy’s understanding [of] what it takes to teach kids to read gives me great confidence that their presence in our schools will be an incredible benefit to our students and educators.”

    — Public Schools Administrator from New York City

    “Teachers have really seen the transfer from the [Magpie] tool to actual practice and authentic application of what they’re learning. With a tool like this, we ensure consistency and equitable access to high-quality and impactful research-based instruction and practice opportunities for students.”

    — Instructional Literacy Coach from North Carolina

    “It's next to impossible for a teacher to meet every single kid where they are and give them the exact number of at-bats they need to practice those skills. Magpie has done that for us this year.”

    — School Systems Administrator from Arkansas

    “Using Magpie is like having another teacher in the room with us … My students are further in reading and writing…because they are getting that solid instruction through Magpie.”

    — Kindergarten teacher from Arkansas

    “One hour of teacher training is a DREAM!”
