The purpose of the CLSD grant is to award competitive subgrants to local educational agencies (LEAs) that advance literacy skills and development. These skills include building capacity of knowledge and implementation of evidence-based practices to increase literacy outcomes for all children from birth through grade 12. The overarching goals of the CLSD grant include: build capacity of stakeholders’ knowledge and use of evidence-based practices; improve teacher use of evidence-based practices to improve literacy outcomes; and increase literacy outcomes and reduce the achievement gap.
