Alabama Literacy Act

The Alabama Literacy Act will be implemented during the 2020-2021 school year. It includes strategies, incentives, and interventions specific to the science of reading for grades K-3. 

Dear Families,

One of the most important predictors of a child’s academic and future success is the ability to read by the end of third grade. Everything that happens in your child’s life in the early years has a lasting impact on their future potential. Families are essential in setting high expectations for learning and encouraging their child’s academic achievement, growth, and success! Your active participation and partnership with your child’s teacher and school, along with reading support at home, is critical to their success in meeting the assessment standards established in Alabama.

This Read-at-Home plan includes activities to help your child practice the Foundational Components of Beginning Reading: 

• Phonological Awareness
• Phonics
• Fluency
• Vocabulary
