Based on the results of the Third-Grade Reading Workgroup strategy recommendations, the Michigan Department of Education's focus on Early Literacy is to:
 

  • Give students the research-supported diagnostic and screening instruments, instruction, and interventions necessary for success.
     
  • Provide every educator with training to use diagnostic-driven methods with knowledge and fidelity.
     
  • Engage parents in developing their children’s early literacy skills through information, awareness, and outreach.
     
  • Provide Michigan teachers and leaders with data that compares our status and growth over time and when compared to other states.
