Why 3rd Grade?
Third-grade reading proficiency is the single most important indicator of a student’s educational progress and the likelihood of academic success. Children who have not mastered reading by that point are educationally disadvantaged for a lifetime. Without remediation, they are unlikely to optimally benefit from their education or become all they could be in life. An estimated 70% of below-proficient third graders are likely to graduate from high school unprepared for college or drop out of school entirely.
