Research recommends leadership practices that improve math literacy because reading skills predict math success. The study considers issue comprehension, conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and deductive reasoning mathematical ability. Students learn mathematical terminology and context via reading. This research analyses how educational leadership might improve math literacy and understanding through document analysis methodology. The goals included identifying mathematical understanding hurdles, leadership gaps in enhancing these abilities, and evidence-based reading-rich mathematics education. Based on the findings of the research, the paper recommends that educational leaders need to progress from operational managers to learning leaders. Studies show that gaps in math instructors' literacy approach training hinder understanding. The study also indicates that instructional leadership promotes mathematical literacy by fostering a clear and supportive atmosphere that connects leadership objectives with classroom practices. The results also reveal that educational leaders and teachers must collaborate to create great teaching models and share best practices.43enEducational LeadershipReading Comprehension SkillsMathematicsPrimary EducationTeaching Mathematical TerminologyCollaboration between Leaders and TeachersThesis
