Agenda Item Summary:
|
As a result of the ACPS School Board’s commitment to early literacy and in alignment with the 2025 Strategic Plan: Equity for All, Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) is focused on its Pre-K–4 students' literacy achievement.
|
|
Background:
|
Knowing the importance of early literacy proficiency on future academic success, ACPS is continuously reviewing current research on best practices in literacy instruction and making improvements to its academic program. Likewise, the Commonwealth of Virginia is taking action to address historically high numbers of K–2 students at risk for reading difficulty and high numbers of third graders not passing the Reading Standards of Learning (SOL) Assessments.
