Every Child a Reader & Writer

Overview: Every Child a Reader and Writer was established in the fall of 2000 as a joint venture between selected Silicon Valley school districts and the Noyce Foundation. The shared goal for this initiative was the improvement of literacy instruction in all elementary classrooms. Working together, the districts and Noyce have sought to develop strengthened literacy knowledge and leadership capacity within each of the districts with the aim of gradually releasing responsibility for the program to the participating districts. The transition was completed as of the end of June 2009.
