Key Factors to Support Literacy Success in School Aged Populations

The purpose of this literature review, commissioned by the Canadian Education Statistics Council (CESC), is to summarize the research evidence on key factors and practices supporting literacy success for school-aged students.

The review focuses exclusively on reading, or the ability to get meaning from print, because it is fundamental to the literacy development and continued school success of all children (Canadian Council on Learning 2007).
