TEA Issues “State Literacy Plan 2025”

The TEA this month released its Texas State Literacy Plan 2025.

The plan’s goal is to ensure that every child in Texas has access to high-quality instruction and materials to prepare students for the literacy demands of college and career by high school graduation.

To achieve this goal, the plan centers on the integration and alignment of early language and pre-literacy skills for children from birth to school entry — and on high-quality literacy instruction for students in pre-kindergarten through grade 12.

The plan utilizes funding from a $26.6 million federal Comprehensive Literacy State Development grant to Texas.
