MINEOLA ISD LITERACY
Immediate & Future Planning for Reading & Writing
short-term needs & long-range goals
- Sustainable, on-going PD & "quick fixes"
- Input from campus admin
- Based on needs reflected in data
Early literacy impacts future success
Not just for our accountability:
- Four times more likely to drop out of school
- Suffer poor health, less likely to vote, less likely to promote reading readiness in their own children
