Early Literacy Resources
This edition of the DEL Newsletter offers a review of resources related to implementing high-quality instructional resources (HQIR) for reading and writing, building knowledge about early literacy, supporting evidence-based early literacy instruction as well as the Read to Succeed Act and multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS).
Support Implementation of HQIR for Reading and Writing with the Unit Internalization Protocol
The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) Office of Teaching and Learning developed the Curriculum-Based Professional Learning Guidance Document to support districts in effective implementation of a strong local curriculum anchored in high-quality instructional resources (HQIRs). The guidance document includes multiple tools to help ensure maximum impact of the district-adopted HQIRs on the student experience and outcomes.
One foundational tool is the Reading and Writing Unit Internalization Protocol. The steps and questions included in the protocol support “intellectual preparation” for teaching a unit/module from a high-quality instructional resource (HQIR) and provide a structure for developing understanding of how the standards, tasks and assessments operate within the arc of learning. By starting with unit internalization, teachers understand how each lesson coherently fits into the unit's overall design. A Mathematics Unit Internalization Protocol and a Science Unit Internalization Protocol are also available.
Resources for Building Knowledge About Early Literacy and Supporting Evidence-Based Early Literacy Instruction in Kentucky
Wondering How the Read to Succeed Act & a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) Align?
Take a look at these two resources: Implementing Kentucky’s Read to Succeed Act within an MTSS Framework guidance document helps educators understand how the key components of the Read to Succeed Act align with Kentucky’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports.
The Early Literacy Assessment within Kentucky's Multi-Tiered System of Supports (KyMTSS) document provides information around how universal screening and diagnostic assessment fit within a multi-tiered system of supports.
