Madelia Public School District Local Literacy Plan 2025-2027
The Minnesota READ Act Literacy Plan for Madelia Public School District outlines the district's comprehensive strategy for implementing the Minnesota READ Act. It establishes specific literacy goals for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 school years, including increasing reading proficiency and MCA scores across various grade levels. The plan details the use of MDE-approved screening tools for K-12 students, including dyslexia characteristics, and emphasizes data-based decision-making to align evidence-based instruction and interventions with student needs. Key components include parent notification and involvement, the selection of Tier 1 curricular resources and literacy interventions, utilization of literacy aid funds, and extensive professional development for staff on evidence-based reading instruction. The plan integrates a Multi-tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework, with a continuous improvement focus on Tier 2 and Tier 3 instructional supports, all aimed at achieving the goal of ensuring every student reads at or above grade level.
