A Comprehensive K-3 Literacy Policy for Multilingual Learners from the National Committee for Effective Literacy (NCEL) provides states, districts, and communities with research-based guidance for developing, strengthening, and revising literacy legislation and policies to address the specific needs of multilingual learners. The framework outlines fundamental principles and expanded policy language to support a comprehensive, integrated approach to literacy that considers students’ English proficiency, home language development, and prior and current schooling experiences. Reflective questions accompanying each principle help educators, policymakers, and education leaders review and enhance existing literacy policies to better serve multilingual learners.
