FWPS adopted the IRLA based on the recommendation of the K-8 ELA Adoption Committee of teachers, instructional coaches and building and district administrators. The committee reached 100% consensus that the IRLA is the best resource for differentiating instruction to support literacy achievement. This is directly in support and alignment of FWPS Strategic Plan Goal 1: The Early Years: Building the Foundation and Goal 4: Content Area Competence: Mastery of All Subjects.
