Early Literacy Support Overview
Early Literacy Support is designed to be a daily intervention for students identified by current assessment evidence as requiring supplementary literacy support. Early Literacy Support is a tier two implementation that supports students in grades P-2. ELS runs from September to June. During this time, we will be running three blocks of support within our families of schools. The blocks are as follows:
September -December ~ weeks
January-March ~ 12 weeks
April-June ~ 10 weeks
We will support students in grades P-2 who require:
a “boost” to be brought to the expected instructional reading level within their grade level by the end of the block (6-12 weeks)
the most help to reach basic literacy levels for their grade (12 weeks)
Daily lessons are delivered within the classroom with a focus on reading, writing, and oral language development in small group or one-on-one contexts. We currently have 9 Early Literacy Support Teachers supporting approximately 103 students throughout our regional center.
