(1) Reading is the gateway to learning and a key to building a child’s self-esteem.
(2) Children who read below grade level after third grade are at significantly greater risk of truancy, school failure, criminal and at-risk behaviors, early pregnancy and substance abuse.
(3) Research shows that children who have academic problems and exhibit at-risk behavior can be helped most effectively through prevention programs designed specifically to strengthen the collaborative and collective decision-making skills of kindergarten through grade three teachers and administrators within each individual school.
(4) Scientifically based assessment methods can identify as early as kindergarten those children needing extra help to successfully learn to read.
