Students are tutored individually for 30 minutes for 12-20 weeks with a highly trained teacher. The following results show evidence that even the lowest students can and do make excellent gains and retain those gains given quality, individualized instruction. All students were reading at or above grade level.
Retention takes one full year.
In the other part of the day, teachers taught groups of children from the upper crust of the lowest quartile in reading. 120 students were served in literacy group.
