EGMMS Literacy Statement
East Garner Magnet Middle School Literacy Statement
Working under the belief that literacy skills are essential for success in every aspect of life, we believe:
Literacy is the ability to read, write, speak, listen, and think in order to learn, communicate, and make meaning of increasingly complex print and online texts in all content areas.
We commit to focus on:
• Increasing student motivation, engagement, and achievement
• Integrating literacy and learning across content-area classrooms
• Implementing appropriate literacy interventions
• Sustaining literacy development
