Introductory Letter from the Nevada Superintendent of Public Instruction THE NEVADA STATE LITERACY PLAN THE NEVADA STATE LITERACY PLAN BRIAN SANDOVAL Governor DALE A.R. ERQUIAGA Superintendent of Public Instruction STATE OF NEVADA SOUTHERN NEVADA OFFICE 9890 S. Maryland Parkway, Suite 221 Las Vegas, Nevada 89183 (702) 486-6458 Fax: (702)486-6450 http://teachers.nv.gov DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 700 E. Fifth Street Carson City, Nevada 89701-5096 (775) 687 - 9200 · Fax: (775) 687 – 9101 http://www.doe.nv.gov Dear Nevadans: As the Superintendent of Public Instruction, I have focused this year on a number of new initiatives that will ensure all Nevadans are ready for success in the 21 st Century, but literacy remains the sole foundation for all learning. One’s ability to effectively read, write, speak, and listen ultimately becomes the primary factor for determining one’s overall success in life – no matter what profession one chooses. The Nevada Department of Education is dedicated to ensuring that all Nevada students, educators, and families are ready for the new demands and challenges that face our students as they prepare for college and careers. Everyone has a role to play in supporting Nevada’s learners to develop the literacy skills needed to succeed in today’s world. The revised Nevada State Literacy Plan provides a roadmap for all literacy efforts in the years to come. I want to thank the Nevada State Literacy Plan Revision Team for its expertise, commitment, and time devoted to the development of this Plan. Team members represent multiple areas of experience and expertise including classroom and district educators, teachers of diverse learners, and early childhood leaders. The inclusion of library, higher education, and community and family literacy professionals allowed the Revision Team to design a cohesive, comprehensive literacy plan that truly encompasses birth through adult development. Their work will help teachers, families, and community members to identify specific elements that support literacy. Our joint efforts will ensure that all Nevadans are literate and successful in school and in life. While there have been many successful initiatives and projects across the state that have improved literacy achievement over the years, I am confident that this statewide literacy plan will guide the New Nevada to ongoing improvement in literacy achievement for all students. Respectfully yours, DALE A.R. ERQUIAGA Superintendent of Public Instruction 4 (BOARD OF REGENTS 12/03/15 & 12/04/15) Ref. BOR-25, Page 5 of 241
