READING IS SUCCEEDING
by McNally Robinson - Tuesday, Feb 16, 2010 at 9:21am
This week saw the release of a report from the OECD, Pathways to Success:
How knowledge and skills at Age 15 shape future lives in Canada.
Its most revealing observation is that there is no greater predictor of a
child's future educational success than reading proficiency.
The Globe and Mail emphasizes that these results confirm the necessity of a basic education focused on foundational skills. They also bolster the egalitarian credentials of Canada's education system where learned traits such as reading overwhelm inherited factors such as parental income. So, all things being equal, read, read, read.
