Developed by the Minnesota Center for Reading Research at the University of Minnesota, Path to Reading Excellence in School Sites (PRESS) is a framework for literacy achievement in grades K-5 within a multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) or Response to Intervention (RtI) context.

Driven by research-based approaches to literacy, PRESS addresses:

  • Quality core instruction
  • Data-driven decision-making
  • Tiered interventions
  • Embedded professional learning

The PRESS™ Community Learning Solution offers the professional learning opportunities and resources teachers, interventionists, and administrators need to implement systematic supports in elementary reading.
