Results with Jamestown Education
Results. More than any time in recent history, attention
is being focused on the results our schools produce. Expectations
have been raised, and it is essential that we support our students,
teachers, and parents in meeting them.
Parents, teachers, and the public at large are becoming increasingly
aware of the importance of learning to read. Reading is the
key to virtually every other kind of learning. Vast federal,
state, and local resources are in place to help young children
learn to read.
However, older students need these resources as well. According
to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, twenty-five
percent of ninth graders do not possess the reading skills
necessary to do grade-level work. The consequences for children
who fail to develop literacy are dire, and include repeated
cycles of frustration, failure, and consignment to the lowest
strata of job and life opportunities. The National Institute
for Literacy estimates that 43% of Americans with the lowest
literacy skills live in poverty and 70% have no job or a part-time
job.
Jamestown Education can help struggling adolescent readers
find success and get back on track!
