What We Know

Every year, more than 28% of students have not achieved grade level literacy by Grade 3

Saskatchewan has the 3rd lowest literacy rates in Canada

Grade 3 literacy is a critical marker; kids are 4x less likely to graduate if they haven’t achieved it

Low literacy is linked to poor health, poverty, high unemployment and crime rates

In many neighbourhoods, across Saskatchewan, up to 60% of students do not achieve the critical milestone of grade level literacy

Our teachers work incredibly hard, but we need to give extra support.
