Lynchburg City Schools Division Literacy Plan 2024-2026
The Lynchburg City Schools Division Literacy Plan aims to develop students' foundational skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening, fostering creative, collaborative, and civic-minded expression. Rooted in science-based reading research and evidence-based instruction, the plan outlines the implementation of the Virginia Literacy Act, focusing on K-5 for 2024-2025 and expanding to K-8 for 2025-2026. Key strategic pillars include preparing teachers, selecting high-quality curricula and interventions, ensuring ongoing professional learning, partnering with families, comprehensive communication, and robust monitoring of student and division-level progress. The plan envisions students demonstrating comprehension, critical thinking, and applying skills across content areas to foster personal growth and contribute positively to their community.
