特拉华州拨款710万美元强化早期读写 全州28个学区与特许学校受益
特拉华州教育厅10月5日宣布，通过「通向实践之桥」（Bridge to Practice）计划发放第二轮拨款，总额超过710万美元，全州28个学区与特许学校获得资助，用于在2026至27学年强化从出生到三年级儿童的早期读写教学。这笔资金将支持教师专业学习、优质教材选用、教学教练配备与学校领导力建设，帮助各校把阅读科学的最新成果真正落实到课堂。今年3月，该计划已完成首轮610万美元拨款，两轮合计超过1,320万美元，是特拉华州近年来针对低龄阅读能力力度最大的投入之一。教育厅长马滕（Cindy Marten）表示，早期读写是孩子学业成功的根基，州政府将持续为教师提供教材、培训与教练支持。大量研究表明，三年级之前的阅读水平与之后多年的学业表现密切相关，特拉华希望藉此缩小不同家庭背景儿童之间的起步差距。对家有幼儿的华人家庭来说，这项投入意味着孩子就读的学区将陆续获得更多阅读教材与师资培训资源，家长选校与参与学校事务时可多加留意。（来源：特拉华州教育厅）
Delaware Awards $7.1 Million to Strengthen Early Literacy in 28 Districts and Charter Schools
The Delaware Department of Education announced on October 5 that it is awarding more than $7.1 million in a second round of Bridge to Practice grants to 28 school districts and charter schools statewide, aimed at strengthening literacy instruction for children from birth through third grade in the 2026-27 school year. The funding will support professional learning for educators, adoption of high-quality instructional materials, instructional coaching and school leadership development, helping schools put the science of reading into classroom practice. The program's first round, awarded in March, totaled $6.1 million, bringing the combined investment to more than $13.2 million — one of Delaware's largest commitments to early literacy in recent years. Secretary of Education Cindy Marten said early reading is the foundation of student success and that the state will keep backing teachers with materials, training and coaching. Research consistently links reading proficiency by third grade to later academic outcomes, and Delaware hopes the grants will narrow early gaps between children of different family backgrounds. For Chinese-American families with young children, the funding means local districts will be adding reading materials and teacher-training resources worth watching.
