Local school division partnering with province to improve student literacy
The Prairie Spirit School Division and Roadways Literacy Academy are working together to host a pilot program this school year in an effort to improve student literacy rates.
Roadways Literacy Academy is a qualified independent school and tutoring studio in Saskatoon that teaches the Saskatchewan curriculum to students in Grades 1 to 8.
The program will include daily instruction in two classrooms combined with focused individual tutoring and will receive $170,000 in funding support from the Ministry of Education.
“This pilot is a concrete step that we are taking to ensure our children are well prepared to take advantage of the many opportunities that exist in our growing province. We are excited to see the collaboration between a public school division and an independent school as we all work to serve all Saskatchewan students,” Jeremy Cockrill, education minister said in a news release.
