Abstract: The Striving Readers Comprehensive Literacy program is authorized as part of the FY 2010 Consolidated Appropriations Act (Pub. L. No. 111-117) under the Title I demonstration authority (Part E, Section 1502 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA)). The FY 2010 Appropriations Act provides $200 million for a comprehensive literacy development and education program to advance literacy skills for students from birth through grade 12. The Act reserves eighty-nine percent of the funds ($178,000,000) for discretionary grants made to State educational agencies for the purpose of the States making subgrants to Local educational agencies or other nonprofit providers of early childhood education. Priority shall be given to agencies or other entities serving greater numbers or percentages of disadvantaged children. The legislation aims to advance the literacy skills, including pre-literacy skills, reading, and writing, for children from birth through grade 12 including limited-English-proficient students and students with disabilities. States must ensure that the funding is divided with at least fifteen percent of the subgranted funds serving children from birth through age five, forty percent of the funds used to serve students in kindergarten through grade five, and forty percent of the funds used to serve students in grades six through twelve including an equitable distribution of funds between middle and high schools. This request includes information collection activities covered under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The data collected will be used by application reviewers to determine the State's proposed quality of State-level activities, the proposed quality of the State subgrant competition, the proposed project management, and the adequacy of the proposed resources requested in the application.
