“Underdeveloped literacy skills are the number one reason why students are retained, assigned to special education, given long-term remedial services, and why they fail to graduate from high school.”

The Literacy First Process is implemented in Pre-K through 12th grade.  Promoting literacy, and using research-based strategies to teach literacy to students, is instrumental in keeping students successful in school.  It is the hope of the Coffeyville School District that through the use of Literacy First students will become more successful and feel better about their education.
