Read for Success: Improve Reading Proficiency and Combat
the Summer Learning Slide
This event takes place on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2015, 2 to 3
p.m. ET.
Read for Success is a groundbreaking program intervention
designed
to combat summer learning loss and help early elementary
students
excel at reading. Tested over a two-year period as part
of an Innovative
Approaches to Literacy Grant from the U.S. Department of
Education,
RIF’s evidence-based model is proven to increase
students’ reading
proficiency and curb the “summer learning slide”—a
contributing
factor to the achievement gap. Over the two-year study,
57 percent
of students saw gains in reading proficiency through
access to
high-quality books, enriching resources, books for summer
reading,
and professional development.
In this interactive webinar you’ll learn about the
research and efficacy
of Read for Success and key components of the program,
hear testimonials
and best practices from educators using the program, and
learn how school
systems can
implement Read for Success to improve reading proficiency and motivate students
to read, learn, and grow.
