The U. S.
Department of Education published these findings in the Nation's
Report Card:
-
Only 32 percent
of 4th graders are proficient readers.
-
Only 33 percent
of 8th graders are proficient readers.
-
Only 36 percent
of 12th graders are proficient readers.
Because
two-thirds of students are not proficient readers when they
graduate from high school, No Child Left Behind focuses on
teaching children to read.

this law apply to him?" Yes!
