Literacy/Reading Resources

This site will house resources and information to support the Saskatoon Public Schools Literacy for Life initiative.

What is Literacy for Life?
Literacy for Life was identified as a key priority for Saskatoon Public Schools in 2004. Literacy for Life is a three to six year initiative intended to improve our students’ reading skills. In order to build our learning community, we are engaging all students in early learning and literacy. Our overall Literacy for Life goal is all students, K-12, reading at or above grade level.

What is Just Read?
A partnership of school and community to increase students' reading of fiction and non-fiction books, Just Read creates lifelong reading habits. Our schools and Kindergarten to Grade Twelve classes have established and are supporting literacy goals to increase the number of books students read. All students are contributing in a school wide cooperative effort to reach individual, class and school goals. Since Literacy for Life began, our students have read over 2.7 million books!
