Standards, Instruction,
and Student Assessment
Rhode Island's Personal Literacy Plans (PLPs)
A Personal Literacy Plan (PLP) is a
plan of action used to accelerate a student’s
learning in order to move toward grade level
reading proficiency. A problem-solving approach
is used to develop this plan in order to
determine specific needs, establish short-term
student goals, and set the course of action.
The cycle of student support follows:
- Diagnose, Analyze, and Validate Need (s)
- Design Intervention Plan
- Implement Intervention
- Review Progress Monitoring Data
- Revise/Modify Support
- Implement Revised/Modified Intervention
- Use Assessments to Determine
Discontinuation or Need for New Intervention
This process is inclusive because it involves
teachers, parents, administrators, and other
staff members. Parents may choose not to
participate with home support; however, they may
not decline a PLP for their child.
