Literacy Intervention At LTS we strive to provide a balanced literacy approach where motivation and choice play key roles in reading. Strong and capable readers are those who read widely and diversely in a wide variety of genres. In the quest to build capable readers, promoting independent, self-selected reading remains key for us. Creating motivated, lifelong readers doesn’t just happen, it takes a school-wide culture to help reach that goal. We strive to partner with families to ensure that students grow in their enjoyment of reading and that they want to read more. We know that reading builds vocabulary, fluency, and background knowledge, so let’s do our part together to promote and encourage independent reading across our schools and communities. ![]()
