Anchorage Elementary Schools Show Notable Gains in Reading Test Scores

In a new program used by ten elementary schools during the 2006–2007 school year, 83% of participating classrooms saw students’ reading scores improve. Each year an increasing percentage of students in the school district learned to read by the end of third grade. 

 

Hawaii Elementary School Sees Continuing Test Score Improvements

In three years, from the spring of 2003 to the spring of 2006, students’ scores on individual reading measures (tested by DIBELS, the Dynamic Indicator of Basic Early Literacy Skills) rose as much as 60%.

The latest score reports show that 70% of the second- and third-grade students at Ala Wai Elementary School are meeting benchmarks in oral reading fluency. This is a remarkable achievement in a school where less than 20% of second and third graders met benchmarks three years ago.
