The NeedMay 2018 CASSPP test scores reveal that 24% of Ravenswood students are at reading grade level. Why are so many children not reaching this milestone?
Ravenswood students face greater challenges than students in surrounding communities that make it hard for them to perform at their best in school. |
The ImpactIn partnership with the Ravenswood City School District, REF is investing in reading intervention teachers. In 2016, REF introduced reading intervention teachers for third through fifth grade students. REF committed to support two reading intervention teachers for the 2017-18 school year. The school district matched this investment with two additional teachers.
Thus far in the 2018-19 school year, results continue to show results.The reading levels of students who received small group instruction moved ahead of their peers by 50%. These results demonstrate a step in the right direction! |
The OpportunityFor the upcoming 2019-2020 school year, REF will support 10 reading intervention teachers.
