ISSUES
National research indicated third-grade reading was a strong indicator of both high school graduation and college matriculation. Although Charlotte-Mecklenburg was better than the average for large public cities (26%) and the national average (34%), this wasn’t good enough for these leaders.
Reading proficiency at third grade is a critical predictor of school, career and life success. Children who are not reading at grade level by third grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school.
I attended a event with READ charlotte at the local library
Most of the world is illiterate, Reading has been the catalyst that separates the haves from the has not. it is power and it and for many students coming from different cultures.
My Personal Why
When I was in middle school, I struggled with reading myself but my determination to read the Harry Potter books, I went to my local library check out the book.a audio book and regular book and lock myself in my room and read the book out-loud.
My compression skills increased and I learn that I'm more of audio learner.
I was in the process of competing in city start up labs in Charlotte NC and I was on how to present my company idea to the public and how I wanted it to be structured. Finally toward the end I realize that Scroll was the mobile app I will invest my time in.
