| | | | | | | | Title
APPROVAL OF THE PURCHASE OF DECODABLE TEXT LIBRARY GRADES K-2 FROM FLYLEAF PUBLISHING
Description
To approve the purchase of the selected decodable library from Flyleaf Publishing, to supplement the Science of Reading practices in all K-2 classrooms. Flyleaf's decodable books provide beginning and struggling readers with abundant opportunities to transfer their newly acquired phonics knowledge to meaningful, engaging, and complex narratives, informational texts, and poetry.
Gap Analysis
Progress monitoring data and state statute on the required use of Science of Reading aligned materials indicates the need to provide decodable text resources to support the development of foundational reading skills.
Previous Outcomes
Sarasota County School District has previously utilized Flyleaf decodables in select classrooms through a grant-funded pilot. Please see the progress monitoring data below to show increased reading results:
- According to the 2nd grade FAST assessment results, the targeted student group median percentile grew by 14 points (52nd to 66th), indicating students achieved accelerated growth.
This increase in performance was directly correlated with our targeted instructional framework, which included the use of supplemental Flyleaf decodable materials.
Expected Outcomes
Students will develop foundational reading skills.
Strategic Plan Goal
Pillar 1 - Every Student Achieves
Priority 1.1 - Establish a Solid Foundation
Recommendation
That the selection of the supplemental decodable text series be approved as presented.
