REGINA —Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF) Professional Learning, through a contract with the Government of Saskatchewan, will offer literacy instruction training for kindergarten to Grade 3 teachers.
The Evidence Based Foundations for Literacy Instruction program will provide three days of professional development for teachers with the goal of increasing early reading achievement levels for students.
STF Professional Learning develops and delivers professional learning opportunities and resources for Saskatchewan teachers. The program will be available in English and French and will assist in embedding literacy instruction in daily teaching routines.
“This investment in evidence-based literacy instruction demonstrates a shared commitment to supporting teachers and setting our youngest learners up for success,” Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation President Samantha Becotte said.
“By offering high-quality professional learning created for Saskatchewan teachers by Saskatchewan teachers, we are building on the strong expertise already in our classrooms and providing opportunities to deepen literacy practices across the province.”
In addition to the training to be delivered by STF Professional Learning, the Ministry of Education is providing school divisions and First Nations education authorities with provincially approved literacy screening tools and resources for the 2026-27 school year. These tools will help identify students who require additional support so appropriate interventions can be put in place.
