TEXAS READS, TEXAS LEADS
TXRL is a cohort-based, multi-year statewide initiative aimed at helping districts develop and implement science-based TXRL K-3 Literacy Plans which detail strategic moves, decision points, and district investments to meet ambitious academic outcomes goals for early reading proficiency. Here is a link to the TXRL Key STR Shifts & Strategies Framework.
The overall TXRL goal is for every K-3 student to master foundational reading skills before 3rd grade, and read on grade level before 4th. Districts selected as TXRL partners will agree to provide rigorous structured literacy instruction daily using high-quality, science-based materials across all elementary campuses (at least 10 schools in larger districts). They will also leverage blended learning best practices to provide time for data-driven small group instruction and personalized practice to mastery while developing student agency skills.
The 16 finalists reflect Texas’s demographic and geographic diversity with the goal of demonstrating that every K-3 student can master foundational reading skills before 3rd grade, and read on grade level before 4th grade. The finalist cohort reflects a diverse mix of suburban, rural and urban districts, ranging in size from 2,000 to 56,000 enrolled students. Finalist districts will participate in a Leadership Convening and a series of workshops during the 2024-2025 school year to develop their TXRL Implementation Plans. In June 2025, eight winning districts will be selected to each receive up to $250,000 in grant funding to implement their plans. All 16 TXRL finalists will continue to get strategic implementation support through June 2027.
