Why Is This Important?
Reading proficiency in 3rd grade is the most important predictor of high school graduation and career success. Nationally, 2/3 of children and 80% of low-income children are not reading proficiently by the end of 3rd grade. This has significant and long term consequences not only for each of those children but for their communities and our nation as a whole.
