School-Wide Elementary Literacy Practices
in the Northeast

The Education Alliance at Brown University

This supplement to the Elementary Literacy spotlight presents eight shared practices of various elementary schools that significantly improved the literacy skills of their students. The practices are based upon regional studies of schools in the northeastern United States in the late 1990s. Researchers systematically identified what these schools did to improve literacy skills despite the low socio-economic status and limited community resources of some student populations. For each practice, a list of school success stories and online resources provides further information to educators interested in implementing these practices.
