Research Consensus 1: Reading Proficiency Requires a Comprehensive Approach… 5 Code-based Skills Content Knowledge Meaning- based Skills Reading Proficiency More attention paid to code-based skills.

Research Consensus 2: Language and Literacy Development Begins at Birth… 6 Policies mostly focus on K-3 Limited access to early learning opportunities

Research Consensus 3: Parents, Caregivers, Educators Have the Most Influence 7 These adults lack supports to provide high- quality interactions or instruction.

5 Policy Actions for a Comprehensive Strategy 1.Adopt comprehensive language and literacy standards to inform curricula and assessments. 2.Expand access to high-quality early care and education. 3.Engage and support parents as partners in early language and literacy development. 4.Equip B-3 rd educators with the necessary skills and knowledge for improving reading proficiency. 5.Develop mechanisms to promote continuous improvement and accountability. 8
