Office of Literacy
Mission Statement

The Office of Literacy’s vision is that all Chicago public school students will function as readers, writers, and critical thinkers in a technologically advancing global society. The Office of Literacy’s mission is to provide a framework for high quality literacy instruction that is focused on the four components of the Reading Instruction Framework -- word knowledge, fluency, comprehension, and writing -- to meet the diverse needs of all students. The Office of Literacy’s role is to provide professional development that models coherent practices to support educators in implementing effective instruction across an integrated curriculum, and to provide a network of literacy resources for the larger community.
