"According to a study conducted in late April...32 million adults in the U.S. can't read. That's 14 percent of the population. 21% of adults in the U.S. read below a 5th grade level, and 19% of high school graduates can't read."

My school serves very low income families who do not have the opportunities to explore the world around them. They are Title 1 students and the majority of them are part of the free or reduced program. The availability of technology at my school is slim. If my students do not access technology at school, they do not get it. This breaks my heart because I see their desire to learn. My students have the passion for understanding and discovering things that are unknown. I want to provide them with tools to see the bigger picture and not just their community.
Please help me change the statistics.
