Learning to read is critical for success in school and beyond. The Vermont Agency of Education (AOE) recognizes the diversity of culture, language, geography, values, beliefs, and circumstances of our students, families, and caregivers. To support individual growth, development, and continuous learning for a lifetime, AOE is committed to including every Vermont learner in continuous, high-quality, evidence-based learning experiences, from cradle to career. In support of this vision and commitment to improve the literacy learning of all Vermont learners, AOE collaborated with the Region 1 Comprehensive Center to develop the "Vermont Literacy Playbook: An Implementation Guide for System Leaders to Improve Literacy Learning" (referred to as the Playbook). The purpose of the Playbook is to bridge the gap between almost a decade of policy and practice and act as both an implementation guide and a toolkit to support local supervisory unions/districts (referred to as "Districts" in the Playbook) and District leaders in meeting Vermont's literacy goals for all students. The Playbook serves to guide and support the implementation of Vermont's state literacy plan, the "Vermont Blueprint for Early Literacy Comprehensive System of Services" (referred to as the Blueprint). As with the Blueprint, the Playbook is informed by and aligns with existing regulations and frameworks, such as the "VTmtss Field Guide," the "Education Quality and Continuous Improvement Framework," and many others. The efforts and commitment of many led to the development of this Playbook and the resources included within.
