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.

Goal of Early Literacy Support
The goal of Early Literacy Support is to support students in building independence and increasing stamina by supporting them in developing an effective literacy processing system. This system fosters problem-solving, accelerated learning and enables them to demonstrate expected grade level learning outcomes in Language Arts. Our goal is for our students to be independent readers & writers.

For each professional development day, an emphasis is chosen and our day is organized around it. Our day includes viewing of live lessons, professional readings, activities that support our emphasis, implementation issues, goal setting and time for reflection.
