State Literacy Plan Development
Information related to the development of the updated California Comprehensive State Literacy Plan, for review by the State Board of Education in May 2025.Data from the Comprehensive Statewide Literacy Needs Assessment (DOCX), disseminated to all California local educational agencies in December 2024, helped to inform revisions and updates to the State Literacy Plan (SLP). The archived Word version of the survey may be used as a local planning tool and the technical assistance webinar
(Video; 23:48) provides more information about the needs assessment process.
On February 5 and February 26, 2025, the California Department of Education (CDE) virtually convened the State Literacy Team (SLT) comprised of educators and literacy experts across California to provide input on revisions and updates to the SLP. Learn more about the team and review the presentation provided to them on the CDE SLT web page.
Based on feedback received from the SLT and the State Board of Education (SBE), an updated and revised draft of the SLP (DOCX) will be presented to the SBE at its May 2025 meeting.
