Pearson has resources to support your needs for assessment and
intervention materials.
The Striving Readers Initiative is aimed at improving the reading skills of middle and high school students who are reading below grade level. Striving Readers will support the implementation and evaluation of research-based reading interventions for struggling middle and high schoolers in Title I eligible schools at risk of not meeting adequate yearly progress under NCLB and/or that have significant percentages or numbers of students reading below grade level.
The goals of the Striving Readers program are to:
Raise student achievement in middle and high schools by improving the literacy
skills of struggling adolescent readers. Help build a strong, scientific, research
base around specific strategies that improve adolescent literacy skills.
Striving Readers programs will include each of three key components: 1) research-based literacy interventions, targeted to students who are reading significantly below grade level, that include specific strategies to accelerate the development of literacy skills and to monitor student progress; 2) classroom-based strategies for improving student literacy that may include professional development for subject matter teachers and training in the use of research-based reading and comprehension strategies across subject areas; and 3) a rigorous experimental evaluation component.
