The Literacy Crisis: How Academy 7 will Tackle the Challenge

Did you know that nearly 65% of fourth graders in the U.S. read below grade level?

The literacy crisis is real, and its impact is profound—affecting academic performance, future career opportunities, and overall confidence. At Academy 7, we’re taking bold steps to change this narrative.

Our approach begins with cross-curricular instruction that weaves literacy into every subject, from science to social studies. By integrating reading and writing into all learning experiences, students see the relevance of literacy in real life. Small class sizes allow our teachers to provide individualized attention, helping students build foundational skills while also challenging advanced readers to think critically.

We also utilize project-based learning that encourages students to research, write, and present, ensuring they engage with texts in meaningful ways. This method not only enhances comprehension but also builds communication skills and confidence. Additionally, our passionate teachers use targeted interventions and personalized reading plans, ensuring no student falls behind.

At Academy 7, we believe that every child has the potential to become a confident reader and communicator. By tackling the literacy crisis head-on with innovative strategies and dedicated support, we’re empowering students to succeed—not just in school, but in life.
