Individualized Literacy Plan
Cultivating Literacy partners with schools to provide the program to students and their families. Our reading specialists create individualized nine-week literacy plans complete with a reading kit full of games, activities, and books in the child’s heritage language – all based on the child’s strengths and needs.
Cultivating Literacy’s nine-week Individualized Literacy Plan program starts when a reading coach assesses a student’s reading and identifies areas where they need extra help.
These assessments consist of two widely regarded tools:
DIBELS ® (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills)
Basic Phonics Skills Test (BPST).
Together, these assessments help to create a roadmap of goals to support the child’s reading growth and confidence.
Cultivating Literacy’s team meets with students and their families to help them learn more about the program and receive their reading kit.
A reading coach guides the parents throughout the nine-week program, providing support through training, collaboration, and connection.
Coaches build relationships with families by learning about their work, life, and school patterns to support holistic student success. Each child’s reading plan honors the family’s heritage language throughout the learning experience.
Throughout the program, the family accesses an online portal to record their child’s progress and take advantage of other online resources.
At the end of the nine weeks, the reading coach reassesses the child’s progress to provide the parent and classroom teacher additional steps to support the student’s progress.
