Studies show that students who can read proficiently by 3rd grade are more likely to graduate from high school and go on to college. While there are many important components of literacy development, the foundational skills learned in the primary grades provide the backbone of proficient reading.
Reading A-Z delivers a comprehensive array of standards-aligned resources to help you set your students up for success with a strong foundation in reading.
