Over the last five years, the Vermont Agency of Education (AOE) has invested in a multifaceted effort to improve and sustain literacy outcomes for all students to address the declining literacy rates in Vermont. R1CC is partnering with the AOE to develop an early literacy playbook to operationalize the Blueprint for Early Literacy Comprehensive System of Services to strengthen the foundational early literacy (PreK-3) skills in Vermont.
The Playbook includes evidence-based practitioner tools (drawing upon strategies to cultivate early literacy skills from the What Works Clearinghouse) for different groups to improve literacy outcomes in Vermont.
