Statistics Multiple scientific studies show that children
who get a slow start in learning to read are not simply experiencing a developmental lag, but are unlikely to catch up. (Hall 2006)
If a child is struggling to read on level in first grade, there is an 88% chance that child will struggle in fourth grade. (Juel 1988)
74% of struggling fourth grade readers will continue to struggle in ninth grade. (Francis 1996)
Story Time / Read Aloud
Reading aloud to your child is one of the single most important factors for building critical concepts about reading.› Reading aloud bridges the gap between
how we write and how we speak.› Reading aloud introduces your child to new
ideas and vocabulary.› Reading aloud builds a lifetime love of
reading.
Alphabet Knowledge
