Our Story
We are dedicated to strengthening education by empowering all who make learning possible.
Our Decodables Journey
With a long-standing history in early reading instruction and assessment, science is foundational to our work at the Children’s Learning Institute (CLI). In response to the growing need for accessible, high-quality literacy resources, we developed Circle Decodables. This free e-book library is designed to support early reading development in grades K–2 and beyond, and is thoughtfully aligned with CLI’s AERO Reading Curriculum. It also works well alongside other structured literacy programs. Affordable print editions are also now available!
Our Roots in Research
At CLI, everything we do is grounded in science. For over 30 years, we’ve applied research in child development and education to improve learning outcomes for all children. Today, we continue to develop innovative educational programs, tools, and clinical practices based on that founding vision. All members of CLI remain dedicated to our mission, and as we continue to grow as professionals, we remain intent on achieving our goal to make sure every child is equipped to learn and able to excel.
