{ Approximately 75% of students identified with reading problems in the third grade are still reading disabled in the 9th grade.

(Shaywitz, et. al., 1993; Francis et al., 1996)

{ Children who develop poor reading skills are more likely to experience academic and behavioral difficulties at school.

(Schenk, Fitzsimmons, Bullard, Taylor, & Satz, 1980)
