Building a Strong Foundation for Florida's Children:

Early Success in Reading & Math

Expectations Child expectations or standards detailing the progress of skills from grade-to-grade. Instruction Resources and tools to help teachers meet children's needs (e.g., acceleration and remediation). Assessment Tools and training to help teachers assess their children's progress. Parents Resources and information for parents and guardians to help their children succeed.

A strong foundation in early reading and mathematics is essential to each child's future success. To achieve this, Florida's standards, instruction, and assessments in Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) through third grade must be structured so that learning builds progressively from grade-to-grade.
