Literacy opens doors to learning, imagination, communication, and discovery. From reading a favorite story to researching a new topic or putting ideas into writing, literacy skills are part of every school day. 📚
Families can help strengthen these skills at home by reading together, talking about books, visiting the library, and encouraging students to explore topics that spark their curiosity.
