Early Warning! Why Reading by the End of Third Grade Matters

20Executive%20Summary.pdf
“My one son is in third grade now and without the help he gets through Reading ASSIST® would still be struggling with reading. My other son repeated kindergarten-he just couldn’t recognize letters or sounds. He is now in the first grade and has been working with an RAI tutor since the end of last year and he is actually recognizing and sounding out letters and starting to put the pieces together to read words. What a wonderful thing!"
