Why Is This Important?
Being at grade level is meaningful at any age, but third grade is the crucial year when students make the leap from learning to read to reading to learn. It’s an academic hurdle that, if missed, can leave kids in the proverbial dust, struggling through letter sounds as their more fluent peers gain new knowledge at what seems like lightning speed. Once this type of learning lag exists, it’s difficult for kids to catch up.
Every student who does not complete high school costs our society an estimated $260,000 in lost earnings, taxes and productivity.
