SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Full Text of Announcement DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION PO 00000 15683 Sfmt 4703 I. Funding Opportunity Description Purpose of Program: The IAL program supports high-quality programs designed to develop and improve literacy skills for children and students from birth through 12th grade in highneed local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools. IAL promotes innovative literacy programs that support the development of literacy skills in lowincome communities, including programs that (1) develop and enhance effective school library programs, which may include providing professional development for school librarians, books, and up-to-date materials to highneed schools; (2) provide early literacy services, including pediatric literacy programs through which, during wellchild visits, medical providers trained in research-based methods of early language and literacy promotion provide developmentally appropriate books and recommendations to parents to encourage them to read aloud to their children starting in infancy; and (3) provide high-quality books on a regular basis to children and adolescents from low-income communities to increase reading motivation, performance, and frequency. Background: The IAL program focuses on improving literacy skills for school age children from birth to 12th grade. Following the Secretary’s call to ‘‘Raise the Bar’’ in education, the priorities used in this competition are designed to create conditions under which students have equitable access to high-quality learning opportunities and experiences.1 In FY 2023, the Department is particularly interested in projects that propose services and activities in settings that traditionally have limited access to high-quality literacy instruction and resources or settings in which funding disparities may limit access, including, for 1 U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona laid out his vision for the direction the agency will follow in 2023 to promote academic excellence, improve learning conditions, and prepare our students for a world where global engagement is critical to our nation’s standing. In his address Secretary Cardona remarked that ‘‘Raise the Bar: Lead the World’’ is not a list of new priorities, but a call to strengthen our will to transform education for the better, building on approaches that we know work in education.
