School administrators play a critical leadership role in helping students learn to read; they make literacy a school priority, identify important literacy goals, and enable teachers to achieve those goals through supervision and support. Students with learning disabilities (LDs) often struggle with learning to read, and so they have the most to gain when their school leaders are invested in literacy instruction.
