Developing a Comprehensive School Literacy Plan
Creating a School Literacy Plan
The First and Most Important Step
in Developing a
Striving Reader Grant Application
Who needs a plan
•
Each school should have their own plan.
•
Districts can choose to have a plan, but it is
more important for the district to be able to
determine how they best
support
the work of
their school(s).
The GOAL
•
The students at _____________ school
receive “gold standard” literacy instruction
and are college and career ready when they
graduate from _________school district.
The “Why”
•
Is a synthesis of the literacy research.
•
Spans birth to grade 12.
•
Is continually being updated.
•
Tells why for all the other documents.
What are all the other
documents?
•
The “What” lists the pieces you will need.
•
The “How” tells you the steps to making your
plan work.
•
The Needs Assessment gives you a way to
assess your current level of implementation.
•
The Template will help you organize your
literacy plan.

Recipe for Success
•
The Why document “has your back”
•
Start with the “Needs Assessment” and the “What”
document.
•
Once the assessment is complete, the team
determines where the need is and prioritizes.
•
Additional information will need to be collected
through surveys, questionnaires and data analyzed in
order to “drill down” to the actual root causes.
Recipe for Success
•
Work through development of the literacy
plan by using the template as your actual
document.
•
There should be a plan for each school
application.
Recipe for Success
•
Once completed, the “not addressed” and
“emergent areas” of the “building blocks” will
develop into an application that becomes the
project goals, objectives and performances
that are requested within the SRCL grant
application.
•
Not every “building block” will require funding.
Striving Reader will not be able to fund everything.
•
Applicants may need to prioritize the areas that need
to addressed first.
•
All funding sources should be reviewed to determine
whether they are being used adequately and
effectively or if change is needed.
•
Grant applications should address what and how
changes will be made, funded (SRCL, Title 1, local
funding etc.), or if funding is even needed.
•
Each proposal will need to include how the school will
determine that the action has been successful.
Next steps if developing a SRCL grant
application
1.
Create a literacy team.
2.
Complete the needs assessment.
3.
Determine areas to study.
4.
Review the SRCL application and the Reviewer rubric
(located under the Resources tab in Review Room)
5.
Assign tasks to members of the literacy team
6.
Develop application sections in Word. (Feel free to use
the language in “The How” and/or “The What”.
7.
Complete grant application online.

Creating a school literacy plan is crucial for student success. Each school should have its unique plan, while districts can also develop one to support their schools effectively. The goal is to provide gold-standard literacy instruction, preparing students for college and career readiness. A synthesis of literacy research guides the plan, spanning from birth to grade 12. Various documents, like The What, The How, Needs Assessment, and Templates, are essential for developing and implementing the literacy plan, tailored for Early Childhood and K-12 educators and leaders.
