90% of students who do not complete high school were struggling readers in the third grade. This literacy gap disportionately affects students of color and students in poverty. Failure to address this problem only perpetuates the cycle. The challenges compound as students move through the educational system without adequate support. Literator removes the hurdles teachers encounter when offering students direct instruction. At a higher level, we’re alerting administrators to critical areas in need of reading intervention. This directly results in a greater understanding of where to allocate scarce resources. Teachers have expressed to us how difficult it is to serve students who are so far behind without additional resources or training. Parents are often left without specific strategies to support their students at home due to inability to meet with teachers or language barriers. These are problems that we have addressed by design. By closing the feedback loop we are ensuring all students, regardless of background, will benefit from direct instruction and no student gets left behind.
