“38.5% of Rhode Island elementary and middle school students are proficient in English language arts (ELA).” (Source: 2019 RICAS State Assessments) Illiteracy rate 61.5%!
Children with deficient reading skills face serious challenges later on in their education careers. They may drop out of school, have difficulty getting a job or end up in prison.
You can have a direct impact on the future of RI’s at-risk-yet-hardworking students. Their families are committed to helping their students, but aren’t able to fully pay.
With your help, RITES will use scientific, proven literacy methods to guide these students who are capable of overcoming their learning struggles.
Without your donation, these hardworking students won’t be able to experience what you and I take for granted -- a job, college — being a productive member of the community.
