Elementary Literacy and School Readiness Office
About Us
Mission:
We partner with educators and leaders to support the implementation of high-quality evidence based practices in literacy and school readiness.
Vision:
By focusing on strategic issues that support educational policies, the institutional capacity, and adult capabilities that support strong foundations we will promote ready systems that lead to high-quality elementary literacy and school readiness for all students in kindergarten through fifth grade.
Elementary Literacy and School Readiness Office Approach
A growing body of research supports the knowledge that academic and social skills acquired by age eight provide the foundation for lifelong learning and success. The first decade of a child’s life is the most opportune time to influence learning paths and ensure the very best outcomes for all children.
The Elementary Literacy and School Readiness Office includes the following teams:
- READ Act implementation: instructional programming reviews and assessment reviews
- Kindergarten through 3rd grade literacy professional learningÂ
- READ Act data collections
- Kindergarten school readiness
- Literacy grants (Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grant, Early Literacy Grant, and Early Literacy Assessment Tool)
