Seizing New Jersey’s Literacy Moment: A Call to Action for Every School Community
As both an education leader at TNTP and a proud New Jersey mom of two young kids learning to read in our public schools, I am filled with optimism—and a sense of urgency—about the unique opportunity before us. New Jersey recently released a comprehensive Literacy Framework and guide to high-quality instructional materials aligned to revised English Language Arts standards and the new requirements for universal literacy screeners for all K-3 students. The state also launched a multi-year, $50 million CLSD grant to support evidence-based literacy initiatives across the state, including aligned instructional materials and support for educators. These bold steps have the potential to transform how our children learn to read—and to lay a strong foundation for students’ continued success in school and beyond.
