Compass
Compass points each visitor to the right next resource. Whether you're an educator building a phonics block, an administrator implementing a curriculum, or a policymaker studying the evidence, Compass meets you where you are.
Today's Compass has nine overlapping audience sections and is hard to navigate. This redesign collapses it into a few clear pathways, each tailored to a specific audience so nothing gets buried.

A guided pathway
Start here: educator example
Every educator's path starts with the science of reading, then explores applications and community.
- Start with the Science of Reading: The Defining Guide, a foundational text that explains the five pillars and what evidence-aligned instruction looks like.
- Explore decodable text sources and curriculum evaluation guidelines to find materials that match the science.
- Join a community of practice with fellow educators in your state chapter or online.
- Listen to the podcast and read the Journal for ongoing professional learning and new research.
