Welcome to the Texas Literacy Initiative for B.I.S.D.
The Brownsville Independent School District (BISD) is the proud recipient of a literacy grant to assist the district in procuring resources to aid students in improving their skills in literacy from Pre-Kindergarten thru 12th grade.
These resources include hiring and training teacher specialists to provide literacy strategies to campus teachers to improve and refine their instruction in the classrooms. Also, extensive training opportunities are granted to district employees to retrieve and interpret assessment data to drive instruction pertinent to their campus. The purpose of the Texas Literacy Initiative (TLI) grant is to improve school readiness and success in the areas of language and literacy for disadvantaged students in targeted school districts, including their associated Early Childhood Education ECE providers, who will use the model of Literacy Lines to implement the Texas State Literacy Plan (TSLP).
