This document outlines the 'Growing Readers' grant initiative, aimed at significantly improving K-3 reading proficiency among Georgia's third graders. The initiative is structured around four main pillars: Language Nutrition, Access, Productive Learning Climate, and Teacher Preparedness/Effectiveness. The core goals are to foster model classrooms utilizing evidence-based practices, replicate these best practices across schools, and increase the number of proficient readers, targeting a Lexile score of 650 by the end of third grade, including students in Tier 2 and Tier 3.
