2018 Planned Language Approach — Region VII Head Start Association 

Planned Language Approach is a guided process that supports Head Start and Early Head Start programs to plan and implement high-quality language and early literacy services in ALL classrooms and for ALL children.

A Planned Language Approach incorporates proven strategies:

• Research-based approaches to ensure that children close the achievement gap at an early age
•  Early language and early literacy environments and experiences that are known to support children’s long-term academic success
• Consistent and responsive family engagement in children’s educational and social growth, especially in supporting the home language of DLLs
• Careful and intentional implementation of research-based practices that can prevent reading failure and promote school success
