Our Results

Reading Intervention Success

Reading Assist assesses early literacy and grade-level reading skills for students three times per year. We see positive results within four months of reading intervention, and more than 85% of our students reach benchmarks by the end of the school year. Our students also regularly outpace expected progress in oral reading fluency.
