    Literacy and MTSS

    Strong Reading Intervention Starts With Connected MTSS Data

    MTSS is meant to give teams a consistent, shared understanding of each reader, but most teams end up juggling siloed systems, inconsistent screening practices, and scattered intervention documentation.

    Branching Minds gives your district the connected foundation needed to strengthen literacy work by helping you:

    • Centralize your data: Bring all literacy assessments, interventions, and progress monitoring into one MTSS platform.
    • Eliminate silos: Replace fragmented tools with a district-wide system that fosters collaboration and consistency.
    • Support every student: Deliver timely, evidence-based reading support that drives measurable growth.
