Why was the Oregon Literacy Framework developed?
• To support implementation of the Oregon Diploma. Specifically, the Oregon K-12 Literacy Framework supports development of the Essential Skill of Reading.
• The Oregon K-12 Literacy Framework is designed to facilitate collaboration and align improvement efforts across school, district and state levels.
• The Oregon Department of Education believes our public schools are doing a good job educating Oregon students, but that they can and must do a better job. The foundation for this improvement is increasing literacy outcomes for all students throughout K-12.

• Concerns from data: OAKS ResultsOAKS Results10th Grade OAKS data--– about 35% of students read below grade level.
• This means that 35% of 10th graders do not have the fundamental reading skills necessary to read grade level textbooks with proficiency.
– among African American students, 59% are not reading at grade level, and among Hispanic students, 52% are not at grade level.
– overall only 17% of Oregon’s 10th grade students and far fewer African American and Hispanic students exceed Oregon standards.

• Concerns from data: NAEP ResultsNAEP Results
Oregon 4th graders:
– 38% of Oregon 4th graders do not have basic reading skills
• this is one of the highest rates in the country.
– 54% of FRL students, do not have basic 4th grade reading skills.
• This percentage is more than double the percentage of students who are not eligible for free or reduced lunch prices (25%).
Oregon 8th graders:
– 23% of Oregon 8th grade students don’t have basic reading skills
– Among Oregon African American and Hispanic students specifically, this percentage nearly doubles to 43% and 47%. In other words:
– Nearly 1 of every 2 African American and Hispanic Oregon students does not have the basic 8th grade reading skills
