Winslow Coyne Reitnouer has a heart and passion for educators because she believes they have the power to impact the trajectory of a child’s life. Now in its eleventh year, this Excellence in Education award honors U.S. schools, reading specialists, and educators who display exemplary dedication and performance to ensure literacy and learning for developing readers.
If you know a school, reading specialist, or educator who utilizes our Learning Ally Solutions and has transformed literacy instruction and works hard to make a difference every day in the lives of struggling readers, we’d like to know about them.
The Winslow Coyne Reitnouer Excellence in Education Award honors leaders in education who understand that reading instruction must focus on the learner and the variables that impact a child’s ability to understand and achieve. Instruction not only includes word decoding and language comprehension but also addresses students’ cognitive functioning and environmental factors to turn struggling readers into thriving learners. One school, one reading specialist, and one educator will be recognized for this prestigious award!
Families, administrators, reading specialists, and educators are eligible to nominate, and note that school administrators, reading specialists, and educators are encouraged to nominate themselves.
The nomination period begins on September 8, 2025 and ends on December 31, 2025 at 11:59 PM ET. Apply today!
