The Board approved the creation of an Elementary
Literacy Task Force in 1996. Representatives from
each of the elementary schools convened to make recommendations
for assessments to be used across all schools and to
determine the common practices for literacy that would
be consistent in all classrooms at the elementary level.
In 2000, the Board approved the Core
Understandings and Common Practices for Literacy
and an Elementary
Reading Improvement Plan required by the state that
outlined further the work to be done by the Task Force.
The
Task Force created The Literacy Support Guide for Core
Understandings and Common Practices and the guide was
shared with all elementary staff and administrators
in Fall, 2002. Further information is provided in the
document, Literacy Support
Guide Questions and Answers.
