First Things First

The reality is we have a literacy problem nationwide. 67% of fourth grade students are not reading proficiently. This crosses all ethnic and socio-economic lines. Furthermore, some students are making passing grades and still not reading on grade level. This is why 92% believe that their child is reading at or above grade level.
This is an educational crisis that has NOTHING to do with our children's intelligence.
