<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#2F5597">A couple of months ago, I posted about an opportunity to provide feedback about the draft version of a new state-level early literacy framework. Tuesday the Oregon
Department of Education (ODE) <u><a href="https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/ORED/bulletins/35d4b2f"><span style="color:#2F5597">announced</span></a></u> that the final version is now available:

role of school and public libraries in developing literacy is briefly addressed on pages 15 and 16.
</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#2F5496">As a support, </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#2F5597">ODE created a comprehensive
<u><a href="https://www.oregon.gov/ode/educator-resources/standards/ELA/Pages/Early-Literacy.aspx"><span style="color:#2F5597">landing page</span></a></u> with an overview and further resources. According to the overview, the framework “builds momentum and
capacity for strengthening belonging and literacy instruction in every elementary classroom so that all children leave elementary school proficient in reading and writing in one or more languages. It speaks to the comprehensive nature of literacy instruction
and at its core, is designed to be used as a primary resource (or mentor text) for district leaders and school leaders. The framework is designed around eight sections that work in reciprocity with one another to help reinforce culturally responsive practice
and reading science as fundamental to children’s literacy and biliteracy development.” ODE plans to share more about the early literacy framework in August. On a related note, some of you may have read that Governor Kotek announced a new council to determine
“recommendations for updating teacher licensing requirements to ensure [Oregon] colleges graduate teachers with a deep understanding of language and literacy skills and how to teach them” (<i><u><a href="https://www.salemreporter.com/2023/05/29/kotek-orders-new-council-to-investigate-quality-of-reading-instruction-at-oregon-teacher-colleges/"><span style="color:#2F5597">Salem
