Elementary Literacy and School Readiness (ELSR) Regional Support

Overview

The Literacy Team in the Office of Elementary Literacy and School Readiness supports the implementation of the Colorado Reading to Ensure Academic Development Act (READ Act). They provide guidance, data analysis, professional development, and monitoring to districts and schools in support of scientifically and evidence-based reading instruction. ELSR Senior Literacy Consultants provide two types of support to the field: universal and individual district or BOCES support.

Universal support is offered to all districts and BOCES in an ELSR support region; examples of this support include monthly live READ Act office hours, webinars, CoLabs, and more.

Support requested by a district or BOCES is individual district or BOCES support. This support may include UIP support, assistance with curriculum selection, questions on professional development created by the Literacy Team, guidance on identifying students with significant reading deficiencies (SRD), guidance on the READ Act and rule, data review, and more.

READ Act Regional Meetings

The Office of Elementary Literacy and School Readiness hosts quarterly regional support meetings to provide updates on READ Act resources, share collaborative work with other CDE offices, and provide time for READ leads to connect about READ Act implementation.

READ Act Informational Webinars
