SIIP AT A GLANCE

READING BY 3RD GRADE

• By June 2025, students with disabilities will increase their SOL pass rate by at least 5%.

Strategies

• Increase teacher content knowledge of evidence-based literacy instruction aligned with science-based reading research to improve implementation of new core curriculum.

• Leverage use of daily, explicit language comprehension lessons from the new core curriculum for building knowledge and vocabulary.

• Use embedded formative assessments in the new core curriculum to guide tier 1 and tier 2 instructional decisions.
