Library System: Washington County Free Library
Top 3 things learned:
1. Kids are supposed to learn to read until 3rd grade, but after 3rd grade, they read to learn.
2. If kids are not reading at grade level by the end of 3rd grade, they are more likely to drop out of school.
3. Students with chronic absenteeism can never catch up to their peers. By addressing issues such as asthma and tooth pain, which are leading causes of chronic absenteeism, these students are more likely to succeed.
How to implement:
Could the library create a new partnership with the public schools to focus on meeting the needs of the students who are not reading on grade level at the end of 2nd grade.
