- Being a Reader is a distinct reading program within Collaborative Literacy, alongside Being a Writer. Listing it separately does not establish that a district using Collaborative Literacy has separately adopted this component. The CDE 2026 follow-up report reviews the K–5 Reading Domain as a partial Program Type 1 submission; submitted materials include designated ELD and SIPPS resources. CDE source: https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/rl/im/documents/collbeingareaderk5.docx. The 2026 review-panel recommendation is advisory and does not establish final State Board adoption.
