Students coming from families with low socio-economic status enter kindergarten with lower literacy levels than their peers. Educators can initiate a change by increasing opportunities for students to build strong literacy skills. As educators, we can assist students to build skills that can help to overcome difficult situations and navigate effectively through times of negative thoughts and feelings.  \nThe greatest determining factor in students’ academic success and pursuit of postsecondary education is poverty or low socio-economic status (SES) . There will never be a complete balance between people living with large amounts of wealth and those struggling to keep food on their table. The population that sits in wealth has often looked down on people in poverty, not understanding why they are not taking advantage of gaining an education to better their lives (Raz, 2018) . As educators, we can initiate a change by finding ways to better support our learners who are struggling in poverty. As opposed to judging behaviours and actions of students who are struggling, we can find alternative strategies to support the students (Jensen, 2009) . Studies have shown students who have deficient reading and literacy skills in early education are at a greater risk of not graduating (Hernandez & Annie E. Casey Foundation, 2011) . With a lack in funding and support from government and schools, little support from family, and children entering school with low literacy levels, students in poverty struggle to find balance between life and the books. The school system is created to reach large portions of the population. When a positive school environment is created, there is an increase in interventions for cognitive growth, and situations to develop positive social behaviours for students living in poverty (Berger, Benatov, Cuadros, VanNattan, & Gelkopf, 2018) . Educators can be an effective vehicle for change with regards to the impact that poverty has on academic success.  \nPoverty Holding Back Success  \nStudents living in poverty will continue to struggle academically because of a lack of funding to low income communities, low support from families, and low literacy levels. The widening gap between the rich and the poor is mirrored in the educational system as well. Parents living in poverty are struggling to provide essential food and housing, and this stress at home is having a negative effect on students’ potential graduation. In order to battle this crisis, different levels of government have taken steps to grant additional funding to schools and communities, in order to address the concern of students living in poverty and their struggles in education (Jones, Wilson, Clark, & Dunham, 2018) . There have been monetary incentives for some teachers to move to schools that have high rates of poverty and failure among the student population. Although there has not been an immediate increase in students’ academic success, it is difficult to measure the positive relationships that are being created between these students and the teachers (Cowan & Goldhaber, 2018) . Having qualified teachers in these communities is a step in the right direction and shows that educational institutions recognize the effect that poverty has on educational success. If there were an increase in funding toward affordable housing and healthier food options for families, families struggling in poverty could focus more on educational goals (Raz, 2018) . The continued lack of funding from governments and schools for initiatives to combat poverty will decrease the opportunities for students living in poverty to close the educational gap.  \nIncreasing government funding for families in poverty would be ideal, although the likelihood of that happening immediately is low.
