Rich Township High School District 227 is dedicated to empowering every student with the literacy skills they need across all subjects. By using metacognitive tools, students not only strengthen their reading comprehension but also learn to think critically about texts in diverse content areas. Through our district’s partnership with WestEd's Reading Apprenticeship program, teachers are integrating literacy into their subject expertise, helping students become more confident, engaged readers. This whole-school approach is building a foundation for lifelong learning by ensuring that every teacher has the tools to support reading growth.
