The Washington State K-12 Reading Model has been developed to to help teachers, administrators, parents, and community members understand and implement a successful systemic model in their schools to address students’ reading challenges. The Model is based on five critical and interrelated areas: standards, assessment, instruction and intervention, leadership, and system-wide commitment. The guide includes a three-phase action plan to support districts and schools with sustained implementation of a successful reading model and is chock full of tools for each phase, such as rubrics, checklists, and professional development overviews. This guide can help states that want to deepen their own statewide adolescent literacy efforts by providing concrete examples of how to support local districts in their literacy instruction. |
