IMPROVING LITERACY FOR YOUTH
BE A PART OF OUR GREAT CAUSE!
Every Student. Every Day.
“Every Student Graduates a Reader Initiative” is an initiative that emphasizes the fundamental right to read for every student, recognizing literacy as a critical tool for personal and academic success. Reading is more than just a skill—it is a gateway to opportunity. When students are proficient readers, they are better equipped to excel in all subjects, improve their communication, and develop confidence.
​
What is "Every Student Graduates a Reader Initiative"?
"Every Student Graduates a Reader Initiative" is a Lake Pend Oreille School District initiative focused on ensuring all students develop strong literacy skills. Reading is the foundation for academic success, enabling students to excel in all subjects, think critically, and confidently navigate the world. By screening literacy skills annually, the program identifies students’ reading abilities early, allowing for personalized instruction and preventing future learning gaps. This initiative opens doors for students, preparing them for further education, careers, and active participation in society.
​
How Does the Initiative Work?
The initiative uses a comprehensive approach to literacy. It begins with fall literacy screenings to assess every student’s reading skills. Those needing extra support undergo diagnostic assessments to pinpoint specific areas for improvement. Teachers are trained in evidence-based practices—such as phonics and comprehension—ensuring they can provide effective reading instruction. This layered strategy helps all students, not just those struggling with reading, and sets them on a path toward academic success and future readiness.
