NATIONAL SUPERINTENDENT’S
The National Science of Reading Leadership Summit
For Superintendents, District and School Leaders: From Research to Districtwide Results
January 21–22, 2027
Houston, Texas
Every Superintendent. Every School. Every Reader.
Is Your District’s Literacy System Producing the Results Your Students Deserve?
The literacy crisis is not simply a classroom challenge—it is a districtwide leadership responsibility.
The National Literacy Institute invites superintendents and district leaders from across the country to Houston, Texas, for an exclusive two-day executive leadership summit focused on transforming literacy outcomes through research, strategic leadership, and sustainable systems.
This is more than another education conference. It is an opportunity for district leaders to examine the effectiveness of their literacy systems, identify barriers to student achievement, and develop actionable solutions that move districts from literacy initiatives to measurable results.
The goal is clear: Every district leaves with a stronger vision, a clearer strategy, and an actionable plan for literacy improvement.
