Posted by Beth DuBose on Jan 15, 2010

Principal Leadership magazine publilshed this story about Penn-Trafford High School in Harrison City, PA. The article describes how best practices were being used in their school to reach struggling students through RTI, but not all students were engaged. The school decided they needed a new approach for these students.

The school purchased the FastForward reading program, and those students saw gains of an average of 1.1 years in reading skill levels in just 30 days. The school also saw increased improvement in attendance and behavior as well.
