Citywide Literacy Expectations 2022-2023

During the 2022-23 school year, the NYC Public Schools Literacy Collaborative seeks to build coherence and alignment throughout grades K-12 by establishing literacy expectations.  

The following are priorities for all schools:

• Implement, with fidelity, a high-quality curriculum for all students.
• Develop a school-wide assessment plan that incorporates screening, secondary diagnostics, and progress monitoring.
• Incorporate evidence and research-based interventions to meet unique student needs.

The Citywide Literacy Expectations through NYC Reads are a starting point for improving literacy rates across New York City Public Schools.
