About K-12 Literacy Supports and Learning Disabilities 

The Province is investing $30 million over three years to better support students’ literacy development in the K-12 school system. This initiative is intended to increase literacy levels for all students and allow for targeted interventions for K-12 students, including for students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia. Early identification and intervention is key to helping students struggling with literacy in their early school years, and throughout their education.
