The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board says it has come up with a number of strategies for improving standardized test scores.The latest round of reading, writing and math from the Education, Quality and Accountability Office show mixed results for grade three, six and nine students in the public school system.
Caryl Hron is the superintendant of education for the board and says one of things they've done to improve reading and writing test results is to put more of an emphasis on literacy.
Hron says they've increased literacy instruction in the class by 20 minutes a day.
