Innovative Reading Intervention Program
Dramatically Raises One School’s Reading Scores In Just One Academic Year


At a time when schools are facing increased pressure to raise their standardized test scores, one school in Atlanta found a way to increase its reading scores to among the highest in the country. Ron Clark Academy (RCA) has reported that in just one academic year, the percentage of students scoring above the national average increased from 78.3% to 97.2% due to their use of Reading Plus.
“Here at Ron Clark Academy, we have been able to help our students raise their test scores by using unique methods that incorporate innovation and creativity,” states Ron Clark, founder of the academy. “I love Reading Plus because as a teacher and as an administrator, the results are outstanding!”
The Atlanta-based academy was so pleased with the results achieved with Reading Plus, it produced a video to explain how the program is implemented in the school, and why this reading intervention program has been so successful in helping students at all reading levels improve their comprehension.
Mark Taylor, CEO of Reading Plus, congratulated Ron Clark and his students, saying, “We are honored that Reading Plus is part of the incredible curriculum at RCA. The educators and students of RCA should be very proud of their amazing reading gains.”
