Louisiana Literacy Plan
Author: Louisiana State Department. of Education, Baton Rouge
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 79
Book Description
The Louisiana Literacy Plan is designed to address the learning needs of all students in grades PK-Adult Education in order to improve the literacy rates of students in the state, thereby developing a more literate and capable citizenry for the future. Connecting this plan to the No Child Left Behind Act, Louisiana seeks to close the achievement gap between all student sub-groups. The plan is based upon several key components that are supported by national, scientifically-based research and that have proven effective in improving outcomes for students when implemented with fidelity and integrity in schools. The plan requires a school-wide model with substantial district and state support and integrates a powerful instructional model across the PK-12 grade continuum with scientifically research-based instructional programs and strategies. This instructional model is supported by quality, job-embedded professional development for teachers and school and district leaders that builds their foundational knowledge in delivering reading instruction and their capacity to implement the components the plan requires. The instructional model, research-based programs and strategies, and professional development components are aligned with the model used in Louisiana's Reading First model, but are grade-level specific to meet the needs of learners at various stages of their education.

Louisiana's Way Home
Author: Kate DiCamillo
Publisher: Candlewick Press
ISBN: 1536204773
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
From two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo comes a story of discovering who you are — and deciding who you want to be. When Louisiana Elefante’s granny wakes her up in the middle of the night to tell her that the day of reckoning has arrived and they have to leave home immediately, Louisiana isn’t overly worried. After all, Granny has many middle-of-the-night ideas. But this time, things are different. This time, Granny intends for them never to return. Separated from her best friends, Raymie and Beverly, Louisiana struggles to oppose the winds of fate (and Granny) and find a way home. But as Louisiana’s life becomes entwined with the lives of the people of a small Georgia town — including a surly motel owner, a walrus-like minister, and a mysterious boy with a crow on his shoulder — she starts to worry that she is destined only for good-byes. (Which could be due to the curse on Louisiana's and Granny’s heads. But that is a story for another time.) Called “one of DiCamillo’s most singular and arresting creations” by The New York Times Book Review, the heartbreakingly irresistible Louisiana Elefante was introduced to readers in Raymie Nightingale — and now, with humor and tenderness, Kate DiCamillo returns to tell her story.
