Literacy is The Cornerstone of Development
Learning to read in the first years of primary school is critical for retention and success in future grades. Literacy is the cornerstone of development. It leads to better health, better employment opportunities, safer and more stable societies.
We want kids to read more. We want them to enjoy reading. We know that reading builds vocabulary, fluency, and background knowledge. So as educators and parents let’s do our part to promote and encourage independent reading across our schools.
