Literacy Support
The foundation of our work comes from the suite of research-supported instructional practices that foster literacy development called the Essential Instructional Practices in Literacy. The Essential Instructional Practices are free documents designed for Michigan educators to improve literacy development. They provide research-proven, effective approaches to markedly improve literacy skills among Michigan’s students. Using these Essential Instructional Practices with every child, in every classroom, every day will help improve literacy among our youngest learners.
