成人快播

This fall, 成人快播 will open its tenth region in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

We are thrilled to announce that this fall 成人快播 will expand its program to Tulsa, Oklahoma! Partnering with Tulsa Public Schools, with funding from the George Kaiser Family Foundation and others, we will serve students in nine schools during the 2013-14 school year.

鈥淪uccess in life is tied in very closely with being a successful reader,鈥� said Dr. Keith Ballard, Superintendent of Tulsa Public Schools.聽鈥淭PS is committed to improving reading skills for young people so they can be high-achieving and be on a successful trajectory for college or career.聽We are so pleased to have the support of 成人快播 in nine of our schools. Together, I know we will make a tremendous difference in these young lives.鈥�

成人快播 selected Tulsa as an expansion site based on interest from school district leaders in partnering with us to provide our high-quality literacy intervention program to address the region鈥檚 significant achievement gap. Today, only 1 in 4 Oklahoma fourth graders is reading at a proficient level, and.

Another contributing factor is Oklahoma鈥檚 Reading Sufficiency Act, which requires schools to retain students who do not pass a reading test and do not meet other criteria for exemptions by the end of the third grade. Oklahoma fails to provide any funding for schools to identify students struggling with reading and to provide supports to get them back on track.

With your support, we are poised to make a big difference in the lives of Tulsa students, their families, and the community. If you know someone in the Tulsa area who would make a great tutor or member of our team, contact Outreach Manager Cassandra Love at聽cassandra.love@readingpartners.org.
