What is the "Behind Cycle"? Simply put, it's "Being behind, falling behind, and staying behind." Fundamentally, it occurs when a child isn't reading at their proficient literacy level. This can have a huge impact on their academic success and future opportunities.
The main goal is to STOP the cycle so children are no longer behind. We want to REVERSE the cycle so children can read and achieve academic success!
Why is literacy so important?
📚 It's the foundation for learning in all subjects.
📚 It builds confidence and self-esteem.
📚 It opens doors to higher education and better careers.
📚 It empowers children to participate fully in society.
How can we help break the cycle?
Early intervention is key! Identify struggling readers early on.
❤️ Provide targeted support: Offer extra help and resources.
❤️ Make reading fun! Encourage a love of books and stories.
❤️ Involve parents and families: Create a supportive learning environment at home.
❤️ Advocate for literacy programs: Support initiatives that promote reading.
Let's work together to ensure all children have the opportunity to become proficient readers and achieve their full potential! 💪
