Case Study
Fairfield Community Schools — Strengthening Instruction Through the Science of Reading and Writing
When Fairfield Community Schools set a goal to strengthen K–3 reading achievement, they partnered with INcompassing Education to ensure every classroom was aligned to the Science of Reading.
The Challenge
Fairfield had already taken initial steps by conducting a Tier 1 audit of early elementary classrooms, but needed deeper, sustained support to translate that knowledge into consistent classroom practice. Leaders wanted a model that would build teacher capacity in both reading and writing instruction while connecting professional learning directly to student outcomes.
The INcompassing Education Approach
IE launched a districtwide instructional coaching model designed around the Science of Reading. Each month, grade-level teams met for microlearning sessions, focused on key literacy topics such as phonemic awareness, decoding, fluency, and the reading-writing connection. These sessions were paired with structured time for data analysis, co-planning, and reflection, ensuring that teacher learning translated into immediate classroom impact.
Across six elementary schools, IE provided 36 on-site coaching days, integrating classroom visits, demonstration lessons, and co-teaching opportunities. Leaders and teachers also had shared digital workspaces to document learning, track goals, and maintain communication between coaching sessions.
The Outcome
Teachers reported stronger understanding and confidence in implementing the Science of Reading and Writing. Instruction became more explicit, data-driven, and aligned across grade levels. Students benefited from increased access to systematic, evidence-based literacy instruction, and the district established a sustainable coaching structure that continues to drive improvement in reading outcomes.
Empowering Educators to Build Strong Readers and Writers
Strong literacy skills are at the heart of academic success. Yet, across schools, educators continue to face challenges in aligning instruction to the Science of Reading and Writing—bridging foundational skills with comprehension, language, and written expression. Many teachers are eager to apply research-based strategies but need the right support, tools, and professional learning to make lasting change in their classrooms.
INcompassing Education partners with schools to strengthen literacy instruction from the ground up. Our approach integrates the five pillars of reading—phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension—with explicit writing instruction grounded in language development and cognitive science.

Why It Matters
Literacy is more than reading words—it’s the foundation for all learning. When schools ground their practices in the Science of Reading and Writing, they unlock the potential of every student to read, write, and think critically.
-
Students develop fluency and comprehension through structured, intentional instruction.
-
Teachers feel empowered by knowledge of how reading and writing actually develop in the brain.
-
Schools create consistency across classrooms, ensuring all students receive high-quality instruction.
INcompassing Education helps schools turn literacy research into daily practice—building confident readers, capable writers, and lifelong learners.
