About the Presenter
We seek to improve reading skill levels among struggling readers and target the growing illiteracy among school-age children. Some of the most important statistics from the National Institute for Literacy, National Center for Adult Literacy, The Literacy Company, and the U.S. Census Bureau underscore the critical need to address illiteracy in the United States. Here are some statistics:
-59% of students failed the Arizona Standards Test in English.
-1/3 of fourth-graders reach the proficient reading level.
- Only about 25% of students in Arizona school systems are able to perform basic reading skills.
- 85% of juvenile offenders have problems reading.
-3 out of 5 people in American prisons can’t read.
-3 out of 4 people on welfare can’t read
