Saint Louis Public Schools is seeing strong momentum in literacy growth across our schools through a more unified approach to foundational reading instruction.
By implementing consistent, research based literacy practices and investing in ongoing support for educators, SLPS schools are creating stronger learning experiences for students across every grade level.
Highlights from the district’s literacy pilot schools include:
✅ Growth in ELA achievement across every pilot school
✅ Fewer students needing intensive reading intervention
✅ Increased teacher confidence and instructional consistency
✅ Stronger support systems for students across all learning environments
This work reflects the dedication of our educators, school leaders, and students who continue building brighter futures through literacy and learning.
At SLPS, we remain committed to ensuring every student has access to the tools and support they need to become confident, capable readers.
