IPUL’s Commitment to Literacy
Over the past several years, Idaho Parents Unlimited has been proud to partner with the Idaho State Department of Education through State Personnel Development Grants (SPDG) to support literacy for students with disabilities. As part of this important work, IPUL contributed to two major initiatives: Cultivating Readers and SMART 2.0. These programs focused on promoting early literacy, family engagement, and inclusive educational practices that support diverse learners. Even though these initiatives are sunsetting ,we remain urgent in our efforts to support diverse learners in their literacy journey.
We’re excited to share the incredible tools, strategies, and materials that came out of this work. We invite you to explore and make use of the valuable literacy resources we’ve compiled on our Literacy Padlet.
