Connecticut State Department of Education

Your Partners in Literacy Success

Students benefit when all stakeholders collaborate to support the mutual mission of all Connecticut students reading at or above grade level independently and proficiently by the end of third grade.

“I love hearing what other districts are doing and where they are in implementation. There have been so many wonderful resources to share and bring back to our districts. We love having time with our own district to plan and discuss...”

Literacy at the Center

Across the state, educators are working together to align kindergarten through third grade (K-3) literacy teaching and learning with evidence-aligned practices so that all students will read at or above grade level by the end of third grade.
