What if you couldn't read?
Oct 28, 2024 11:58 AM
What if you couldn't read? How would you fill out a job application? Apply for a driver license? Understand your doctor's directions for your health care? Help your children with their homework? In the 2022–2023 school year, 56% of first graders, 67% of second graders, and 66% of third graders met reading benchmarks at the beginning of the year. By the end of the year, 62% of first graders and 71% of third graders met the benchmarks, while second graders remained at 67%. However, according to the Utah State Board of Education, less than half of students in grades 1–3 were reading at their expected grade level. On Monday, October 28, our speaker will be Kathy Hall, Elementary Literacy Coordinator Specialist for the Washington County School District. Bring a neighbor, friend, co-worker or another interested individual for this important program. |
