Last school year, 93% of students tutored by 成人快播 volunteers in Colorado increased their monthly rate of learning. That means that those students learned, on average, more than double the amount in literacy skills per month than they would have without the program.
It鈥檚 not just the individual students benefitting from the 成人快播 program. In the classroom, 85% of teachers reported improved general academic behaviors in students enrolled in the program. And 100% of principals reported school-wide improved reading progress after joining 成人快播.
With the incredible success last year鈥檚 366 students showed, the natural next move for Executive Director Mike Turner was to reach out to more schools to serve more students. The expansion adds four new schools to the Denver metro and surrounding areas. This year, 11 total schools are hosting reading centers with a goal of helping over 550 struggling readers catch up to their peers.
