MOST people in the United
States have a fundamental
belief that all students
should learn the basics of reading
in the primary grades and continue
to build on those skills
throughout their elementary and
secondary school years. But the
reality is that more than 5 million
high-schoolers do not read well
enough to understand their textbooks
or other material written
for their grade level. According to
the National Assessment of Educational Progress, 26% of these
students cannot read material
many of us would deem essential
for daily living, such as road signs,
newspapers, and bus schedules.
