Developing Core Literacy Proficiencies: Literacy Toolbox Online Resources

The Literacy Toolbox is the set of adaptable resources for building literacy in the Developing Core Literacy Proficiencies program. These handouts, tools (graphic organizers), checklists, and rubrics are used throughout the program, but they are also designed for teachers and students to use and adapt for their own unique purposes, including for other texts and topics.
