Paving the Way to Graduation: Effective Strategies to Improve Reading Proficiency for K-12 Students

The numbers are alarming. Almost 7,000 students drop out of high school each day of a typical school year in the United States. That's more than 1 million every year. This has profound consequences on their future since students who do not graduate from high school earn a lifetime average of $400,000 less than their peers. This gap widens compared to those who go on to earn a college degree. In this Education Insight, we'll dive into the complexities of the high-school drop-out rate. This paper will consider the underlying sources of the link between reading proficiency and risk for dropout, then discuss critical factors that can contribute to improved reading performance throughout a student’s school journey. For those educators interested in the link between reading performance and graduation rates, this paper is packed full of eye-opening information. Start reading now.
