A couple of months ago, I posted about an opportunity to provide feedback about the draft version of a new state-level framework focused on developing literacy in adolescents. Today the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) announced<https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/ORED/bulletins/3d3e407> that the final version is available: Oregon's Adolescent Literacy Framework<https://www.oregon.gov/ode/educator-resources/standards/ELA/Documents/ORAdolescentLiteracyFramework_2025.pdf>. "The framework follows the implementation of the Early Literacy Success Initiative by providing guidance and best practices for research-based literacy instruction in middle and high school." It is meant for all secondary-level educators - not just those who specifically teach reading.

ODE created a comprehensive landing page<https://www.oregon.gov/ode/educator-resources/standards/ela/pages/adolescent-literacy.aspx> with an overview and further resources, including a link to the Oregon School Library Standards.

FYI, the framework itself does not mention school libraries and only tangentially mentions public libraries through a reference to surveys about community resources. That's as opposed to Oregon's Early Literacy Framework: A Strong Foundation for Readers and Writers (K-5)<https://www.oregon.gov/ode/educator-resources/standards/ELA/Documents/Literacy%20Framework_2023.pdf>, which was published in May 2023 (landing page<https://www.oregon.gov/ode/educator-resources/standards/ELA/Pages/Early-Literacy.aspx>). The role of libraries in developing literacy is briefly addressed on pages 15 and 16.

Please share information about the literacy frameworks with relevant staff.

Thanks,
Jen
