ON THE READING A-Z PLATFORM, 100% OF STUDENTS MADE MEASURABLE PROGRESS TOWARD THE NEXT READING LEVEL, WITH MORE THAN 30% ADVANCING BY AT LEAST ONE LEVEL IN JUST TWO MONTHS OF FOCUSED INSTRUCTION. THIS SUCCESS IS DRIVEN BY OUR HIGH-DOSE TUTORING MODEL, DELIVERING NEARLY 300 ADDITIONAL HOURS OF ACADEMIC PRACTICE EACH YEAR. LED BY RETIRED EDUCATORS AND COLLEGE STUDENTS, THIS APPROACH ACCELERATES LEARNING, CLOSES ACHIEVEMENT GAPS, AND STRENGTHENS LITERACY.
