How to Reach the 90% Reading Goal
Expectations
|
We expect all children, including those from low socioeconomic
backgrounds, to reach the reading goal.
The subtle allure of the socioeconomic argument for educators
is that it places the primary responsibility of poor academic
performance on society. The "problem" with the reading-as-the
problem thesis for educators is that it places the primary responsibility
of academic performance on schools. The reading goal and its
expectations remove any excuse for up to 90% of the students.
The school is still allowed to have 10% of the students not
read on grade level.
