Literacy is a lifelong process. Reading skills developed before and during a child’s first years of school need continual support throughout his or her entire educational career to ensure academic success. One of the best ways for students to strengthen these skills and to develop a love of reading is through a consistent, sustained reading practice outside of the classroom.
