K-3 EARLY LITERACY INITIATIVE
is aimed at providing basic early literacy skills in grades K to 3. These skills focus on the 5 big ideas of beginning reading - phonemic awareness, alphabetic principle, fluency with text, vocabulary, and comprehension.
To accomplish this, the Read Well and Language for Learning programs will be the CORE reading programs in grades K to 3 in all our elementary schools. This will occur in phases and be rolled out over SY 2022 - 2023 and SY 2023 - 2024.
