Independent Reading Sparks Literacy Growth at Abbotsford Traditional School
June 19, 2025
Independent reading is gaining traction at Abbotsford Traditional School, where students in grades 6, 7, and 8 recently created posters by hand or digitally to showcase books they’ve read and enjoyed.
This initiative has helped drive a 65% increase in library circulation, with some categories seeing even greater spikes.
With 360 students, the school is well on its way to achieving its literacy goals. Board Chair Shirley Wilson and Director of Instruction Tracy Krys were on hand to celebrate the momentum.
