This special issue focuses on challenges and solutions to implementing effective reading intervention in schools in the United States. Researchers often develop interventions that prove effective in efficacy studies but then show no impact when implemented at scale in public school settings. The authors of the intervention studies presented here describe a number of common implementation problems stemming from research in primary grades, middle grades, and high schools. Solutions to these implementation problems include establishing researcher–practitioner partnerships to address the systems‐level challenges, suggestions for how to obtain buy‐in from teachers, and recommendations for reforming preservice and in‐service teacher education.
