2. The importance of literacy in education

Literacy plays a crucial role in a student’s education and future success. It is the foundation upon which all other learning is built. Proficient reading and writing skills are not only essential for academic achievement but also for navigating everyday life. From understanding textbooks and writing assignments to communicating effectively and participating in the workforce, literacy is a fundamental skill.

Unfortunately, many students in St. Louis Public Schools are not reading at their grade level, which places them at a disadvantage.
