FluentSeeds is the nonprofit provider of SEEDS of Learning©, the professional development model that serves adults who work with children from birth to kindergarten. SEEDS is a rigorously researched early language and literacy program grounded in reading science and emphasizing healthy social and emotional learning environments. The SEEDS model of professional development empowers adults with training and coaching using research-proven strategies and consistent data collection to inform tailored instruction for each child, building solid foundations for a lifetime of social, emotional, and academic success.
A three-year Randomized Control Trial (RCT)—the gold standard in social science measurement —showed that a single year of SEEDS training produced statistically significant, positive changes in teacher knowledge and student reading skills, with impacts of up to 8 additional months of learning for children across all demographic categories and Dual Language Learner (DLL) status.
