With 67 percent of 4th graders reading below grade level, schools need early literacy interventions that work at scale.
A study recently released by the Center for Research and Reform in Education at Johns Hopkins University showcased an intervention that researchers dubbed “a scalable solution to accelerate early literacy outcomes for high-need students.” In one year of high-dosage 1:1 tutoring from Ignite Reading, 1st graders gained an additional 5.4 months of learning as compared to national averages.
How did they do it? Join Ignite Reading CEO Jessica Sliwerski in conversation with the researchers, plus educators from one Massachusetts district that participated in the study, to find out.
