In 2005, the U.S. Department of Education awarded eight Striving Readers grants to projects around the country. The goal of Striving Readers is to improve literacy skills and achievement for struggling readers in middle and high school and to increase the research base using randomized clinical research to address improvement in adolescent literacy instruction. This session will present results to date from the five Striving Readers sites that use READ 180. (Contains 2 exhibits.)
