One of the most distinguishing features of any 12 month literacy initiative is the emphasis directed to literacy in all of the disciplines and at access to literacy the whole year. The need to focus attention on foundational literacy and access to books year round is now more important than ever. For students entering kindergarten unprepared or for students who are not reading on grade level, school can be a place where struggles undermine confidence and critical skills remain underdeveloped. As a result, the reading achievement gap widens as students move beyond PreK and Kindergarten. With a renewed focus on reading proficiency, the case for prevention is clear.
