Lynchburg City Schools (LCS) students will develop the necessary skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening that are foundational for creative, collaborative, and civic-minded expression using language. Student instruction will be anchored in the use of high-quality instructional materials rooted in science-based reading research and evidence-based literacy instruction. Students will demonstrate comprehension, critical thinking, and application of vocabulary, knowledge, and skills across content areas. Students will identify challenges, craft solutions, and assess results to foster personal growth and contribute positively to their school and community.
Virginia Literacy Act
With the passage of the Virginia Literacy Act (VLA) in the 2022 General Assembly, Virginia is taking the lead nationwide to improve early literacy outcomes for Virginia’s young learners. Through the VLA, the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) will support school divisions through a multi-year effort with tools, resources, technical assistance and funding.
