Are Your Kids Kindergarten Ready?

Read to Succeed
Reading is the foundation for academic success. From birth to third grade, kids "learn to read." From fourth grade on, they “read to learn.” Currently, 15% of students are not reading proficiently in third grade.
Algebra is a Gateway to Post-Secondary Success
Early exposure to algebra yields higher levels of mathematics achievement and increased post-secondary success.
(Redefining College Readiness Report 2006)
