The Alamo City Schools Foundational Literacy Skills Plan focuses on improving literacy skills in grades K-5 using Benchmark Advance as the core curriculum. The plan details daily foundational literacy instruction, including phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing. It outlines interventions for students at risk or with significant reading deficiencies, utilizing tiered support systems (Tier 1, 2, and 3) with various research-based materials and strategies. The plan also includes professional development for teachers and a parent notification plan to ensure home-school collaboration. The plan aims to improve literacy outcomes for all students, with a particular focus on identified subgroups, using data-driven decision-making and progress monitoring.
