Citywide Literacy Expectations

Grades PK - 13+ AIS - Literacy English Language Arts

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.
