33% of America's fourth graders are reading at or below the "basic" proficiency level.

One child in four in America grows up not knowing how to read!

85% of Philadelphia’s fourth graders are below proficiency in Reading.

Reading proficiency by fourth grade is the most important predictor of high school graduation and career success.

Over 50% of the adult population in Philadelphia is functionally illiterate.

Maya Angelou on Reading

“…If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself, I would do that again by reading” – Maya Angelou

READ 360 affirms that all youth, especially those struggling with reading, given the right tools in a nurturing environment can overcome any barriers hindering reading proficiency and ultimately develop in them a passion for reading.

CREATING A READING NURTURING ENVIRONMENT

At Home
In school
After-School
During Summer Break

ENSURING ACCURATE DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT
Many factors can affect the test scores of struggling readers. At RRC we take the time and make the effort to test students using different evidenced based diagnostic tests in different “environments”

PROVIDING THE RIGHT AND APPROPRIATE READING REMEDIAL TOOLS
Cookie-cut reading remedial plans are of no help to a struggling reader. At RRC we mean it when we say our Individual Reading Plans (IRP’s) are customized.

PROGRESSIVE MONITORING
Monitoring is important as that helps TEAM RISE to adjust its intervention strategies.

GETTING THE FAMILY INVOLVED
It only makes sense to get the family involved providing them with tools to help their loved one since the child spends greater time with the family.
