• ABOUT EARLY LITERACY

     

    • Early literacy is the foundation of success. Hopkins Elementary and 野花社区视频 ISD are committed to developing reading and writing skills within the early learning classrooms that will help all young learners be successful at school and beyond.

     

    EARLY CHILDHOOD GOALS

     

    • House Bill 3 directs 野花社区视频s to develop and implement an early childhood long range plan. Hopkins has reviewed our data, identified growth targets for both reading and math, and developed a plan to help our students achieve a new level of academic success.  Our plan, in conjunction with professional development in the science of reading, will benefit our students for years to come.  Below are Hopkins Elementary’s early childhood goals for reading and math.
