"We will increase students’ engagement with text in thoughtful and purposeful ways to strengthen reading and comprehension across grade levels and language programs"

 

Our data across K–7 shows a consistent pattern: students are engaging with print, but many are not yet reading for meaning. Whether in early French immersion, primary English, or the intermediate grades, learners need more purposeful, joyful interaction with text. Teachers are seeing wide variation in foundational skills, limited stamina for comprehension, and a strong need for daily structures that model how readers think, build vocabulary, and make meaning from what they read.

 

Our school wide focus responds directly to these findings. By ensuring that every student reads, is read to, and engages in authentic comprehension practices across all language programs, we will help students grow into confident, capable readers.
