Struggling Secondary Readers
“Struggling readers end up unprepared to participate fully in society, and face uncertain futures generally marked by poorer educational and employment opportunities” (Hock & Deshler, 2003).
Mission of SRW
The mission of the SRW Program is to “support” students who are reading and writing below grade level by providing explicit instruction to them. The purpose of the program is to empower our students to become lifelong readers and learners and most importantly effective communicators.
Vision of SRW
The vision of the SRW Program is to provide a high quality curriculum and the best reading and writing instruction to prepare our students to be leaders, critical thinkers, college-ready learners, responsible decision makers and skilled communicators.
