Oregon is poised to distribute funds for early childhood learning and literacy. In 2023, lawmakers passed the Early Literacy Success Initiative, in part because only about half of the state s students were proficient in reading through third grade. School districts have since applied for grants with the Oregon Department of Education and funds are expected soon. .
The Beaverton School District is blazing a trail in early education through bilingual learning labs, which emphasize playful inquiry and habits of mind. School officials said the Early School Success initiative is designed to showcase the power of early learning and help make the case for expanded public investment in preschool. Monique Singleton, principal at Vose Elementary in Beaverton, said the program helps children, many from immigrant families, successfully adjust to their new surroundings. .
