My fourth graders are struggling more than ever with basic reading and writing skills. Many are reading below grade level by two years. Research shows that if students are not reading proficiently by fourth grade, their odds of dropping out of school dramatically increase. These children are frustrated and they need to know that they matter. They need to know that we will help them read with confidence. Reading is the key to their futures. Together we can let them know that not only do I care, but that caring individuals all over the country care enough to help them fly off into a successful future.
