RCPS emphasizes literacy as central to student success
Summary
Roanoke City Public Schools staff urged families to read with young learners and to ask students about classroom learning, calling literacy foundational for success across subjects.
A Roanoke City Public Schools staff member said literacy "remains at the heart of everything we do," urging parents to read to or with young learners and to ask older students about what they're learning. "In order for students to succeed in every subject, they need to be strong readers, writers, and communicators first," the speaker said.
The staff member described daily family practices—reading together and discussing classroom learning—as ways to support literacy across subjects. The transcript does not specify particular curricula, programs, or literacy benchmarks tied to this statement.
