Fidelity of Implementation
Promising Literacy for Every Child
Literacy Collaborative® (LC) is a comprehensive model designed to provide a school wide approach for improving the reading and writing achievement of students. This model is comprised of ten essential elements that are specified in LC’s Standards and Guidelines. Each element is further defined within the Fidelity of Implementation (FOI) document providing Literacy Leadership Teams guidance and support to monitor implementation.
In addition, the Guide Promising Literacy for Every Child: Reading Recovery® and a Comprehensive Literacy System was made available to each team. This resource provides stakeholders the opportunity to explore each of six overlapping and integrated design elements (components) essential for developing and sustaining a comprehensive systems approach
While there is not an exact alignment between the Guide and FOI document, they do effectively complement each other. This connection is detailed in the following crosswalk.
