The Campaign for Grade-Level Reading (www.http://gradelevelreading.net) is a collaborative effort by foundations, nonprofit partners, states and communities across the nation to ensure that more children in low-income families succeed in school and graduate prepared for college, a career, and active citizenship. The Campaign focuses on the most important predictor of school success and high school graduation—grade-level reading by the end of third grade.
In the United States…
Only 36% of 4th graders, 34% of 8 graders, 38% of 12 graders are at or above proficient reading level
8th grade reading level has dropped since (the last Nation’s Report Card in) 2013.
Struggling readers are four times as likely to drop out of high school
