Comprehensive ELG Grantee Resources

Comprehensive Early Literacy Grant Purpose

The Comprehensive ELG Program provides money to local education providers (LEPs) to implement literacy support and intervention instruction programs to help kindergarten through third-grade students achieve reading competency. The Comprehensive ELG Program is focused on system-wide early literacy efforts and implementing and sustaining scientifically and evidence-based reading instruction. It is designed to improve students’ reading competency by supporting local education providers’ establishment of the essential components of reading instruction into kindergarten through third grade (K-3) teaching structures.

This grant is implemented as a four-year grant cycle. Year 1 of the grant cycle serves as a planning and initial implementation year, followed by three years of operationalizing the grant. Upon completion of the four year cycle, grantees will have the opportunity to apply for an additional one-year Sustainability Grant.
