Program Description: A significant number of adolescents enter middle
school unable to read and understand complex informational or
narrative text. These students would benefit from a multi-tiered system

teachers, content area teachers, administrators, and support staff with
foundational knowledge regarding best practices for older students who
struggle to read.
