    Houston ISD’s Literacy by 3

     

    Literacy By 3, engages students, teachers, parents, and community members around a common goal: having every student reading with proficiency by Grade 3.

     

    Highlights of the literacy plan include:

    ·        Phonics-based instruction with guided reading

    ·       Continued use of HISD’s universal screener to measure reading level and growth

    ·       Real-world literacy projects in which students collaborate to produce authentic content, such as a letter to an elected official

    ·       Movement to a digital curriculum for teachers, and personalized learning for students as part of the district’s overall digital transformation.
