CAPIT Reading is Evidence-Based, Research-Validated, and Rooted in the Science of Reading:
A Johns Hopkins University study found that Preschool students using CAPIT were 46% more likely to achieve kindergarten readiness compared to other students in the district not using CAPIT.
These students experienced gains that correspond to 46 additional days of learning over the course of a 180-day school year, the equivalent of an additional two months of learning. Read the Study.
A third-party study found that Kinder students experienced 29% growth in early literacy skills in 6 months. Read the Study.
A Johns Hopkins University study found that First-Grade students using CAPIT consistently outperform their peers on state literacy assessments. Read the Study.

Read the St. Louis Catholic School Success Story
Explore the remarkable success of St. Louis Catholic School in Castroville, TX, as they implemented CAPIT Reading to achieve their early literacy goals. Their preschool students achieved unparalleled growth, mastering fundamental reading and spelling skills at unprecedented rates.
“Typically, most students enter kindergarten without knowledge of letter sounds. These students will finish kindergarten being able to read.”
“We are currently piloting CAPIT with our Kindergarten class, and so far, student engagement and participation are at an all-time high. Our teacher sees great value in the program and continues to see the growth in phonemic awareness, and many kinders are Reading now! I am excited to extend this program to TK through Second grade in the future.”
— Sima Saravia-Perez, Principal, St. Odilia School
“[The August STAR] scores were rather low, so we knew we had a lot of work to do to increase them by the next window. With the implementation of CAPIT, the children were able to build their phonics skills. They were blending and decoding, [learning] CVC words, even CVC silent 'e' words. When we took the second window STAR in January, the gains were incredible.”
— Dr. Kingsby, Principal at St. Eugene Catholic School
“CAPIT has been an excellent confidence booster for them. Many of them were very insecure about their reading or apprehensive about reading in front of me, and I can see them opening up. I've tried other programs in our classroom before, but the kids just weren't attached to them. Then we got CAPIT, and everything began to click for them.”
— Kamaryn Johnson, Kindergarten Teacher at St. Eugene Catholic School
