Turn the Page STL  is St. Louis’ city-county wide literacy initiative dedicated to increasing the number of children that are reading at or above grade level by the end of third grade. Turn the Page STL will align and measure the progress of this work, based on  the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading's framework and our collectively written 2022 Strategic Plan, which includes improving kindergarten readiness, summer learning, teacher preparedness, family engagement, and community awareness.  This work will be viewed through a racial equity lens with the understanding that racial inequity in metropolitan St. Louis’ public education system has contributed to generations of under literate citizens.
